When Leeds Met Alberto Carlos
Carlos Alberto Torres, who famously scored the last goal in the 1970 World Cup final visited the International Faculty this week with colleagues from the International Federation of Futebol de Salao - the organisation which propelled the likes of Pele and Ronaldo into superstardom.
To welcome Carlos Alberto to Leeds Met we hosted an informal event at Macaulay Hall, where students and staff had the opportunity to meet Carlos Alberto and his colleagues and ask the questions they'd always wanted to ask about international football played at the highest level.
Many star-struck people were delighted with the conversations they had with Carlos Alberto, and left clutching signed t-shirts and footballs as mementoes.
Carlos Alberto is the latest of the great Brazilian cup-winning side of 1970 to visit the University, as his team-mate Socrates was awarded with a Leeds Met honorary doctorate in 2004. He said, "I wish I was young again so I could be a student at Leeds Met."
