Fantasy Football League - Pele Was Shite 

There right he was shite, a classic example is in escape to victory, when the allies are 4-0 down, as soon as Pele gets taken off, they played much better, they brought it back to 4 - 3, before he came back on.

The bit where they sung he was worse than Jason Lee got me 🤣🤣🤣

More than a half of Pele's goals came from friendly or even amateur matches and back then they played every fucking day

Jason Lee LMAO

Great darts..I'll be pinching that line from you, good stuff!

RIP legend :-(

Great darts getting this up. Top stuff

RIP legend.

Did you know this? Pele had 2 degrees of myopia (only corrected at 31 years old, with an eye retina operation) and never using contact lenses (like for eg, Romário or Kaká) while playing.

spot on!

Best video ever!!!!!

Bloody hell, I remember this from when I was like six years old. Such risque language for someone of my age :)

Heh I really wish this show was still around.

i think that maradona was a soccer player "for the tribune".... he wasnt headed the ball, plñayed with one leg... and was world champions only one time...... pele was a complete soccer player.... he palyed with both legs..... headed, dribling, goal, freekick, etc. he hit 1309 golas en many diferetns competitionss... it not comparable to maradona... Pele played until his 40s.... maradona retired with 35.... maradonaa.... was drogadict.... pele never touched the drugs.....

Foi um gracejo irônico compreendes? Pelé é sempre mostrado na televisão inglesa como o messias sem defeito, quando ele foi humano também e pôde jogar de vez em quando como Jason Lee..

@kisbie Theres a complete rundown of his goals and games in an recent autobiography - included in the 1000+ goals are friendlies for club and country, exhibition games and games for his Army team. Oh and they got the 1000 goal that was much celebrated wrong - later tallying up found to be about his 1003rd - guess the brazilians didnt have Statto in the 50s and 60s :D

@awaitlightning All good calls. I think Michael Ricketts should definitely be in there. Also Massimo Taibi, Winston Bogarde, Taribo West, Marco Boogers, Viola, Luke Chadwick, Serginho, Tomas Brolin, Eric Djemba-Djemba and Dalian Atkinson. Big Ron and Drillo Olsen as the gaffers with David and Frank as celebrity sub keepers, just for old time's sake. (Graham Poll could ref - with his pioneering three strikes rule of discipline.)

Wasnt that the sketch that started off the hounding of Jason Lee? I distinctly remember a Forest fan having a letter read out on the next show saying how Jason Lee was great, and from there it became a running joke.

@kisbie 39 and still going strong at Ilkeston Town I believe!

They say Pele scored 1000 goals...but it makes you wonder how many he missed? :)

@UliseSinha He missed lots more. We were just lucky to tape these xD.

@kisbie Maybe interspliced with Alan Partridge's Goal commentary from the Day Today!

@kisbie Genius! absolute genius. Eric Djemba-Djemba so good they named him twice. I think Brolin, with the possible exceptions of Roque Junior and Lamine Sakho is the worst player to ever wear a Leeds shirt. Oh ad also Lars Bohinen, Branko Strupar and Simo Valakari, Derby's terrible threesome.

Who behind?

@awaitlightning If David and Frank can't get this show back on the telly, they could perhaps do a few 'Hall of Fame' DVDs, celebrating the most entertaining players and gaffers through the ages. I know the shop shelves are groaning under the weight of those cheap and nasty cash-ins. But those two would be able to show everyone how it's done I'm sure, just as Fantasy League is still the unchallenged daddy of football comedy on TV.

Ronaldo Fenomeno wouldn't have missed them :P

@kisbie i'm pretty sure Pele scored over a thousand goals in his career, and Jason Lee had a pineapple on his head :0)

David and Frank seem to take great relish in tarnishing the Pele myth. Their podcasts for the 2006 World Cup featured their discovery of the truth about his claim of 1,000 career goals. Wikipedia, incidentally, counts the tally as 'only' 578 goals from 560 competitive games (that's for clubs - Santos and New York Cosmos - and country). But even his biggest fans would have to admit that never playing for a European side helped flatter his final takings, at least a little bit.

son tres ocasiones en una carrera de 30 años o mas...

Do you have the episode with the old man steptoe wristwatch?

@kisbie I thought they were doing a podcast for the world cup but I could be wrong. It'd still be funny if it came back, I mean how good was the Euro 2004 series. That DVD is a great idea. Personally, I think that if they did a DVD celebrating the most mediocre footballers of all time it would quite possibly be the best thing ever. Also agree with tOmme 1981, Soccer Am is a poor man's fantasy football.

R.I.P

Hi, I've just uploaded the Carlos Alberto Phoenix, you can find it on the video responses section above.

@awaitlightning I'm thinking that a Fantasy Football Hall of Fame would be simply a catalogue of as many great/interesting/funny stories, moments and characters from the history of football as possible (though those mediocre players would no doubt be awarded their own special section). It'd be better than all those sodding blooper reels at least. David and Frank also regularly bemoan how too much of football comedy is weighed down by cliched montages of defensive clangers and silly haircuts.

Pele, whose real name of course was Edison Arantes do Excremento! XD

tudo para ganhar ibope....todos os jogadores do mundo tem seus mals momentos, todo mundo erra feio 1 vez sequer...mesmo o pele sendo coroado o "rei do futebol" nao quer dizer que ele e um o melhor que nunca errou -.-

@kisbie Pele appointed himself the greatest? Perhaps I need to remind you that Pele didn't spell his name as G-O-D after the 1970 World Cup; it was the Sunday Times. Pele didn't vote himself "Athlete of the Century". Pele may react this way because no other player gets the flack he does, although most of the moves players go ga-ga over nowadays were invented by Pele. Pele never appointed himself, it was an honour bestowed upon him by those blessed to witness his talent.

Rip man

This video will be getting a lot of views tonight. Rip

@kisbie Fucking hell that's a question. Francis Benali, William Prunier, Pascal Cygan, Oleg Luzniy, Andrei Silenzi, Ali Dia, Riccardo Scimeca, mabye even Edinho!

Poor Jason Lee

@Aardvarked88 It's spelled hole.

Rip Pele 😢

yeahh now show all the 1000 and something goals he did...lol

I think the point is though, players back in the day weren't subject to the kind of training and dietary needs of (most) professional footballers today. Pele played 40 years ago. If you compare a car from the 60s with one from 2009, you know which car is going to be top trumps. Furthermore, defenders aren't as gullible as they were in the 60s, since Pele just walked past them. Standards have risen in football. Not to mention the weight of the ball and etc.

If Pele was around today, he'd probably be about as good as Darren Bent

Wanna buy some Andrex?

Bring it back!!!! Fuck facebook campaigns for chocolate bars, we want fantasy football league!!!!

@Tomyde09 so was the above comment mate

Wow eleven years since a comment, we’ll never know if pele was crap, but he’s a crap actor.

@kisbie Hahaha, in a weird way I hope he never does!

ye he played against policemen, industry workers and other suckers. How serious can you take those world cups?

RIP Pele

Pele debutó con un pibe.

So if the Euros Cry,,pele is the best one, english queensheet

@torresforpresedent close to funny, but not quite there yet

@piro6220 Its a joke mate.

Lol

Rip.... he was shite tho

Yes Pele was shite. Next you'll be telling me that Alan Smith and Shola Ameobi are a dream pairing.

lol, "still better than Jason Lee though."

@kisbie No I will retract, and here's why: Zico played most of his club career in Brazil and he received so many accolades, because he was white. Pele' s career was far more illustrious than Zico's, but time and again he is villified. The Brazilian in Pele's time was probably the best in the world; all Brazil's internationals played in it yet there are morons who try to shoot it down. Let me ask you this: does anyone say that Charlton or Beckenbauer were shite? Think on it.

@kisbie I won't dispute the 1000 goals thing only God knows the truth about that. However I will say this: all the players you have mentioned never have had so many critics trying to make him appear overrated. In fact, they accepted as the greats of the game; every so- called pundit tries to discredit Pele coming up with a plethora of lame- ass arguments. Give the man his due, he was the greatest. Anyone who saw him play in his prime will attest to the fact.

Fabio Capello, in 2014: “I was lucky enough to come up against Pelé with La Nazionale in a match where he was playing for an American team,” he told FIFA.com. “Before that, I'd only seen him on television. “During the game, I saw him do two things that really impressed me, and that's when I realised he was indeed the greatest player of all.”

is this real? i always thought he was overrated, if he were playing today hed be no better then defoe

Pele 1,282 goals Messi 380 goals Messi will never equal Pele!

Old Football Was Rubbish (but not as rubbish as Andy Cole)

He didnt even play in one final in the world cup cause he got injured and brazil still won..lol .. They didnt even need pele

it's a joke, dude...

this is uttery outrageous, untrue and complete rubbish, Jason Lee is a great player.

Cause " wouldve "doesnt exist buddy..its like me saying that if messi played for brazil in peles place (if he was born back then) messi wouldve had the same or more world cups than him

No he didn't.

@weatherallc05 Way to reply to a comment left over a year ago with some completely irrelevant, inane shit about brian clough. You probably just saw the bbc documentary or his biopic and decided you'd namedrop him at every given opportunity for no reason whatsoever.

Ha. Crap

Pele es una mentira, El mas grande es el Diego, despues Di Estefano y despúes Messi.

Ronaldo is #1 Pele #50 Meado=shit

Messi#1 Ronaldinho#2 Ronaldo(brazilian)#3 Pele #4

He wasnt that good totally overrated.

old football was rubbish but not as rubbish as andy cole

Too soon 🤣
