Saint Pele A Football Great
October 1, 2007
The King Of Football Gets A Holy Promotion!….
Having played the bulk of his career for santos – a club whose very name is portuguese for saint – its`s fitting that pele has recently been depicted as a disciple of god in a new painting.
Dominic Show – the man behind the artwork – claims the picture was his way of paying homeage to one of his heros. A decent bit of brushwork it may be, but portraying a footballer in such a sanctified light just may offend those of a sensitive religious disposition. So what these sanctimonious types will say when he puts the finishing touches to his angelic interpretations of Diego Maradona and George Best, the next two greats on his list, is anyone`s guess.
