natedammit Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I just met him. I touched him and said words to him and he said words to me and a nice lady gave me a photo as evidence. Actual Pele. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topmiler Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 I never thought I would get a chance to meet Pele in my lifetime, a true footballing genius from my younger days, so to have my pic taken and have him sign something today was a dream come true. So many people I met today have said the same. He was so lovely, not wanting to let go of your hand and trying to have a quick chat once the photo had been taken. Pity we had to be ushered away to keep things moving otherwise we'd probably still be there. Thank you Pele. You're a true gent sir. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveamyadams Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Pele is my all time hero. To get to meet him was something i thought i'd never do. I've met some great guests over the years through Showmasters like Stan Lee and Michael J Fox but for me this tops the lot. Thank you Jason and the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneLee Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Second the thank you for arranging Pele, i'm stilling buzzing over meeting him. I've met a few guests now in the last couple of years since going to cons, most guests great to meet but this was something different a complete new level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajknight1972 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I shook the hand of a god :-) I still haven't washed it ;-) What an absolute gentleman he was, like's been said before I genuinely think he wanted a good conversation with everyone :-) Now, any chance of Sir Bobby Charlton? ;-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raylenth Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 It's best to wait until the new forum is open and you can make guest requests there for the next event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators StuartG2198 Posted June 5, 2017 Moderators Share Posted June 5, 2017 Guys, As Reylenth has rightly said can we please not turn this thread into another guest suggestions one please. The new CM25 page will go up in due course with a dedicated thread. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Count Fooku Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I'm glad this thread is here, whether it was Showmasters themselves or one of their partners who bought him to the event, they have my thanks. I've been lucky enough to meet some incredible people at Showmasters events down the years, but meeting him was something else again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lallen Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I met the lady who is said to be the worlds biggest celebrity and such an iconic figure, she even appears on stamps, and I have to say this experience certainly matched that. Just to meet and have a photo with him shaking my hand, I never ever thought that would happen in my wildest dreams. He was so humble as well, I said it was truly an honour to meet him and he replied that the honour was all his. He even kept hold of my hand after the photo was taken to have a little chat, before we were moved on for the next person. Then when he was signing my boot he noticed my camera and stopped and posed for the photograph. it was a truly awesome experience which I will never forget, not even when I come back down to earth. Thank you so much Showmasters for arranging this once in a lifetime opportunity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
