It may have been a friendly with no impact just over 50 years ago, but Pele's ride to Plymouth Argyle will remain etched in history. Pele's traveling Santos team made a last-minute stop off at Home Park in a match that featured World Cup winners, a wage dispute, and the great man's begging not to be kicked. On March 14, 1973, almost 40,000 viewers packed into Home Park to watch the legend compete with fellow Brazilian 1970 World Cup champions Edu, Carlos Alberto, and Clodoaldo for Santos. Sportsmail looks back on the day Pele graced the Home Park turf as a nation mourns the death of the Brazilian legend who died aged 82 on Thursday.
