Once In A Lifetime: The Extraordinary Story of the New York Cosmos

About this movie

When the world's most celebrated soccer star, the Brazilian champion Pele, signed with the N.Y. Cosmos in 1975, the once ignored North American Soccer League became a hit with both fans and the media. The players—including Pele—became the toast of the town, earning their own private table at Studio 54. This documentary looks at the team's remarkable history and includes interviews with many of the Cosmos' star players.

Ratings and reviews

Great documentary on the old Cosmos! If this doesn't make you root for the modern day incarnation of the club, I dunno what will!
