This is an extraordinary soccer jersey from the Brazilian professional team Santos Futebol Clube (Santos FC), game-worn by the legendary Pelé during the 1970-71 season. The jersey, distinguished by its white color, features an elastic collar and arm cuffs, with the Brazilian manufacturer "Athleta" tag stitched into the back collar. The upper left chest proudly displays the Santos FC team crest with two gold stars above, symbolizing Santos FC's victories in the 1962 and 1963 Copa Libertadores. On the back of the jersey, Pelé's iconic uniform number "10" is prominently stitched in black cloth lettering.
Pelé dedicated almost his entire professional career to Santos FC, playing for the team for nearly 20 years, from 1956 to 1974. Widely regarded by experts, football critics, former players, current players, and fans as the greatest player of all time, Pelé's legacy in the sport is unmatched.
Adding to the jersey's unique value, it is signed by Pelé in blue felt tip pen. This piece not only represents a significant era in Pelé's illustrious career but also serves as a cherished memorabilia for any soccer enthusiast.
