[more details - see chapter VII]Pelé had a long-term obligation in Asia in those days of the Gala. The private manager of Maradona demanded much money (a five-digit sum) and many plan tickets - as a result, IFFHS has uninvited Maradona. Di Stéfano was already on the airport in Madrid and was racked with fever - the doctor ordered him bed rest. Garrincha and Moreno were already pass away. Schiaffino had his participation confirmed, but his wife fell ill critical few days before the Gala - so he decided to stay on her sick-bed.World Football Gala 1999 - 11th January 1999 in the MEIROTELS-Halle in Rotenburg a.d.
