Two or three decades back, when Pele and Beckenbauer and Cruiff had roamed and conquered the earth, they retired- no comebacks, unlike Zidane or Figo's reappearance for the France and Portugal's colors in Germany. But when Pele played his final match for against Yugoslavia in 1971 in the Maracana stadium, "a passionate occasion when over 180,000 fans chanted, "Stay! Stay!" Pele wept openly on the field." He n'er returned.
