Pele had a regret.In his autobiography he said “I have just three-four of my 1,283 goals with a bicycle kick. It’s difficult, and my greatest regret is that I have never scored a bicycle kick goal in a World Cup.”

The three World Cups and 1,283 goals but no bicycle kick in a world cup.Like this one against the germans in “Escape to Victory”

Pele said that his favourite goal, the best of the best was a bicycle kick he had scored against Belgium at the Maracana in 1965.When a sports gallery was opened in Rio in his honour, Pele gave the original photograph of that goal,to the gallery.The photo was famously known as the Bicicleta do Pelé, and he called the goal, “the most satisfying goal of my career.”

Among others..
