Football entered a period of mourning on Thursday following the passing of Pele.
The Brazilian will forever be remembered as one of the greatest footballers of all time after inspiring his nation to three World Cups - becoming the only player to achieve that feat. He also scored hundreds of goals with his beloved Santos between 1956 and 1974.
Pele's death has led to an outpouring of tributes, yet it's also seen many famous tales re-emerge. One such was Santos' tour of January 1969, which saw the icon's presence temporary halt the Nigerian Civil War for 48 hours... or so the story goes.
