1958 World Cup Final

Held on June 29, 1958 between Brazil and host country Sweden, this match secured Pele's rise from teenage phenom to cultural icon.  Pele scored two goals in the 5-2 victory, including what is widely considered to be one of the greatest World Cup goals of all time: with a 2-1 lead ten minutes into the second half, Pele took control of the ball inside the penalty area, chipped the ball over the defender then smashed it past a helpless Kalle Svensson.  This marked Brazil's first World Cup victory, and also marked the first time a World Cup held in Europe was not won by a European team.  Ticket stubs for this match are rare in any form, and we are proud to feature this signed version in our collection.
