What's in the box .... !

The highlight of the exhibition was a set of Pele's training kit which he had presented to a bemused visiting laundry man.  This had been at the request of a press photographer and after the picture had been taken, the laundry man offered to return it but Pele let him keep it.  Following the Lymm Exhibition, the kit went on to be shown at the National Football Museum in Manchester but not before Glynis Allen had investigated its contents! The kit, kindly loaned by the laundry man's son, Dave Timperley.
