Rare footage of Pele playing in friendly match at Dalymount Park resurfaces

Rare footage of Pele playing for Santos at Dalymount Park back in 1972 has resurfaced on social media to give Irish football fans Samba fever as Brazil go in search of a sixth World Cup win.

Brazil legend Pele last week hit the headlines as reports claimed he had been admitted to palliative care, however family members recently stated that he would be leaving hospital once he was feeling better.

The initial news sent shockwaves throughout the world of football; with Brazil's current crop of players chasing a sixth World Cup crown in Qatar, Pele is remembered by so many as the man who played a big part in three of their previous wins in 1958, 1962 and 1970.
