History: Pelé‘s arrival turned the Cosmos from a motley crew of foreigners, semi-professionals and students into a huge commercial presence. The club’s groundsman, on hearing that the Brazilian’s début for New York was to be broadcast on CBS, spray-painted the pitch green to disguise how little grass was on it: the match, against the Dallas Tornado, was broadcast to 22 countries and covered by more than 300 journalists from all over the world.
