I must admit that I am somewhat obsessed with the New York Cosmos and this week the new installation of the franchise has been admitted to the NASL (the division below the MLS) for the 2012/13 season. So the Cosmos are back playing competitive games!
The Cosmos were arguably the first Galacticos, with Pele, Carlos Alberto, Chinaglia and Beckenbauer in their side.
Anyway, that got me thinking of the original Cosmos from 1977 and I found that someone has kindly uploaded the complete review of Pele's last season. Which is well worth a watch.
An excellent piece on the Sports Illustrated website about the New York Cosmos, their turbulent relaunch and entering the NASL.
