The King of Football: Pelé’s shirt to go on display at The Box 50 years after he played in Plymouth

Pelé’s iconic number 10 football shirt, worn when he played at Home Park 50 years ago on March 14, 1973, is going on display at The Box from next Tuesday.

The date marks 50 years to the day when the man considered by many to be the world’s greatest footballer and his Santos FC team played a friendly against Plymouth Argyle – and lost 3-2!
