Come write to this period, even though it’s a bit late, but it’s still in time. because there had just been a grand burial ceremony two days ago
Issues with his football genius “World Class” It has been written regarding a lot already.
I would ask permission to write in the part where he was involved in the development of Thai football. The development of the taste of watching football of Thai people and the development of Thai media, because I believe that no one will write much regarding it.
For those who are over 70 years old, you may remember that the main mass media in Thailand 60 years ago consisted of only 2 media: newspapers and radio.
While television, although it has already begun to broadcast. But it’s still not as widespread as it should be. can be viewed only in big cities
When it comes to newspapers, which are the number 1 main media and have the number 1 influence on Thai people’s ideas in that era. As a media to gather the news that happened both in the country and around the world to be read as much as possible. compared to other daily media
sports news It is considered one of the news that Thai people in the past follow with passion. But it’s more regarding “boxing” news.
Because football 60 years ago was still popular with limited popularity. In addition to foreign football, there is almost no news in our home.
Even the news of the World Cup, which began to be loud all over the world in that era but for Thailand The World Cup news is still only the “sports page” or “inside” news of newspapers and is only a small news.
Including in 1958 or 1958, when there was the 6th World Cup in Sweden, which was the birth year of “Pele”, our home newspapers were mostly just news and small pictures.
In spite of that year, Pele was only 17 years old and on the day Brazil entered the World Cup with Sweden, the host was considered the youngest World Cup player. But managed to score two goals in a 5-2 victory for Brazil.
Later, in 1982 or 1962, in the 7th World Cup hosted by Uruguay, Brazil won the second world championship to win once more immediately, two times in a row, but still Small news of Thailand anyway.
Arrived in 1966 or 1966. England volunteered to be the host and Thai people we started to know.world cupThere were more mentions of some of the hottest players of the year. especially English players “World Champion” that year
But it is still an awareness from the small news in the same page.
Until 1970, the ninth World Cup in Mexico and Pele, who had been discouraged by being kicked. Until wanting to quit football, he returned to the Brazilian national team once more with a new blood warlord, a big Brazilian.
World Cup 1970 or 1970, this is considered a “legend” of the World Cup. and news coverage of the World Cup in Thailand
As I’ve told you before, the 2 giants “Thairath” and “Daily News” competed to bring the World Cup news on page 1 of the giant headlines and became one of the best-selling news stories in the history of our home newspapers.
Meanwhile, the Brazilian national team consisting of 3 musketeers at the forefront “Pele”, “Tostao” and “Jerchinho” also played outstandingly.
Causing Thai football fans to turn to support the Brazilian national team as if they were cheering for the Thai national team. become a political pressure Causing the government in that year (Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn) to decide to broadcast the final match between Brazil and Italy on Channel 4 Bang Khun Phrom.
This is the history of the World Cup broadcast on television for the first time in Thailand.
Pele with the Brazilian national team is a hero. beat Italy 4-1, with Pele opening the scoring in the 18th minute and scoring “Golden Football” The best player to win… Satisfied with the Thai people from all over the country who cheer for him and the Brazilian national team late at night on June 22, according to Thailand time.
Here are some little Pele legends and anecdotes. with Thai football circles, Thai football fans and Thai media
