A large canvas featuring an image originally taken on June 7, 1970, when Brazil played England during the group round of the 1970 World Cup. The image features Pelé with his arms raised in celebration, thinking he had just scored a goal on a header against England goalkeeper Gordon Banks. However, Banks had saved the shot from Pelé, tipping the ball with his right fingertips to angle it over the crossbar of the net. Banks’ save off of Pelé’s header is considered one of the greatest saves in World Cup and football history. The canvas has been signed by both Pelé and Banks. 48 1/4 by 35 3/4 inches Categories: PELÉ
