Some 300 reporters crammed into New York’s plush 21 Club for a press conference unveiling Pele, where he declared: “You can tell the word that soccer has finally arrived in the USA. ” “It was a mob scene, ” remembers Toye. “The place was absolutely jam-packed. You could hardly move. It was just utter, overwhelming chaos. ” Days later, on June 15, 1975, Pele made his Cosmos debut against Dallas Tornado at the dilapidated Downing Stadium on Randall’s Island in New York’s East River. Broken bottles lay strewn on the pitch following a city-organized function the night before, said Toye, who remembers Cosmos coach Gordon Bradley brushing garbage off the stadium’s seats before the match. Large areas of the pitch were bereft of grass and the groundsman decided to spray paint the pitch green for the benefit of the CBS television cameras broadcasting the game. Pele scored a powerful header to snatch a 2-2 draw in front of a 22, 500-capacity crowd, with thousands of others reportedly turned away at the gates.
” “At first he asked what the hell I was talking about, ” Toye, now 89, told AFP in September 2021, recalling his “win a country” pitch. “But finally, finally, finally we got him to understand fully what that meant and what he could do. It was an incredible chase, but it was worth it. ” Pele, suffering some financial difficulties back home, signed a three-year deal worth around $4. 5 million, although senior Cosmos executives have all cited different figures. Brazil’s president Ernesto Geisel tried to block the signing and the Cosmos used their connections to get then-US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, a keen football fan, to intervene to ensure the move.
“Getting him through a crowd of people onto the team bus to get to the airport on time was a nightmare, ” recalled Toye. “We used to tell him the bus was leaving half an hour earlier. ” Pele and his teammates also became a fixture of New York nightlife, partying with celebrities like Mick Jagger and Liza Minnelli at Studio 54, as detailed in the 2006 documentary “Once in a Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos.
And capture a nation Pele did. In just over two years, he transformed “soccer” in the United States from a sport barely anyone cared about to one attracting sell-out crowds of 80, 000. He won a North American Soccer League championship, launching an era of dominance for the Cosmos, and opened the door for a host of other stars, including Johan Cruyff and George Best, to play stateside. Brazilian soccer star Pele, and New York Cosmos coach Julio Mazzei, embrace at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.
