A couple of days I mentioned that the good folks at Pelé Sports would be offering up some great gear exclusively to AFCB readers. Well, now the time has come to give them away!
There first item you can win is the Pelé Story Wind Jacket:
With this new wind jacket you can fight off wind and weather and be fashionable in the stands: the extremely light zippered jacket made of 100% polyester with mesh inner lining is very wind- and water-resistant, and the drawstring casing on the hood provides additional protection from the wind. A fantastic jacket to have in cold and wet times. The three stars on the chest stand for the three world cups won by Pelé.
The second prize up for grabs is a terrific Heart and Soul tee from their Pelada collection:
The Heart and Soul Crew is Futsal. Functional and brimming with style, this tee fits perfectly in a skilled player’s wardrobe. Start your match with Pelé’s signature and the Pelé’s Sports’ Pelada emblem on the chest. Choose your color and never forget: your game is more than just technique. Your game is passion and filled with the joy of Futebol bonito.
To win the Pelé Story Wind Jacket
In order to be eligible to win one of these two prizes, all you have to do is answer the following question in the question form below:
Question: What ‘very brazilian’ move is Pelé most proud and especially connected with?
Hint: Answer can be easily found in this article: Pelé Biography
To win the Heart & Soul Tee
To be eligible for the second prize we want you to leave a comment telling me your all-time favourite Arsenal XI and include Pelé in it.
Good luck!
All time favourite Arsenal XI:
Keeper: Seaman
Right back: Lee Dixon
Left Back: Ashle Cole
Centre backs: Tony Adams and Sol Campbell
Midfielders: Patrick Vieira, Pelé, Robert Pires
Strikers: Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp, Ian Wright
Seaman
Dixon, Cole, Campbell, Cole
Viera, Fabregas, Pires
Bergkamp, Pele, Henry.
szczesny (ninja ftwwwww!)
dixon and clichy on the sides
Campbell in the middle of defense
vieira and cesc in the middle
and to top it off.. an attacking diamond formed by
Pele, Bergkamp, Henry, and Ian Wright

Keeper: David Seaman
Wing Backs: Ashley Cole, Lee Dixon
Centre Backs: Tony Adams, Kolo Toure
Midfield: Francesc Fabregas, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires
Forwards: Thierry Henry, Pele, Dennis Bergkamp
I believe I am the first one to add Kolo to the all time XI. A bit unique, but he was consistent and strong, and I guess I am a bit of a maverick! Otherwise, they could compete with Man U this year 🙂
Keeper: Seaman
Wing Backs: Ashley Cole, Lee Dixon
Centre Backs: Tony Adams, Sol Campbell
Midfield: Cesc Fabregas, Vieira, Pires
Forwards: Thierry Henry, Pele, Dennis Bergkamp
Subs: Marc Overmars, Van Persie, Ian Wright, Freddie Ljungberg Wjciech Szczesny (GK)
I have mad faith in our new young goalie with the un-spellable name, Szczesny! I’d initially thought of having Ljungberg in the starting 11, but, that trio of Henry, Pele & Bergkamp seems absolutely perfect!

A 3-4-3 (unlikely with Arsenal but for fun)
The very famous Brazillian ” BICYCLE KICK” …Pele the greatest.
warned of the dangers to America’s ancient overloaded power grid. Being without power for a few months, in the developed world, is a lot more serious than most people realise.
Tiger gave Stuart Appleby the gift that keeps giving. For the second year in a row, the world’s top player opted out of competing in this week’s season-opening Mercedes Championship.
