"Gascoigne and the two shirts Pelé gave him"

Imaginary FIFA World Cup; 5th round: Brazil 1970 - England 1990

Three hours, fifty-one minutes and a non quantifiable amount of seconds from the beginning of the match, including extra time, and the man who was pretty much like a shy teddy bear wanted to play some more.

Paul Gascoigne's act - moving to the locker room of Brazil - seemed as easy as an exam done in fourth grade classes. It meant: now we're gonna play "Simon says", and I am, with no doubt, Simon. "Your Majesty" said Gascoigne - not really confident - to Pelé "as I told you before on the field, your Majesty, I'd like to have another of your shirts, just one more" "One more?" asked Pelé, not sure whether he understood well what the British man told him. Gascoigne nodded, without talking, an usual gesture that people leading a conversation do. And Pelé, whose head had a crown on, although he was the king, ended up obeying the teddy bear. But all of this happened after. Three hours, fifty-one minutes and a non quantifiable amount of seconds after the beginning of the match.

Right after the crowd invaded the field at the end of the match, cheering the final goal of Rivellino - which took Brazil the lead - Pelé left with Gascoigne's shirt - number 19 - hold tight in the hands, and the other one with the golden number 10 on the shoulders. That's why the king of soccer was surprised when Gascoigne asked him for a second. Nobody could ever explain that. All we know is that a monger of ampoules from an est region of Dalmatia one day confessed an old man from Tyne and Wear, England, gave him two shirts of Pelé to have one of Johan Cruyff.
