Pele would be the guest of honour in the ISL match between Kerala and Atletico de Kolkata tomorrow and Taylor could barely hide his excitement of getting to meet the three-time World Cup winner.
"I've actually played against him for 20 minutes. It was my proudest moment. I never got the ball (possession) from him. He was a fantastic player. It would be marvellous that he's watching the match," Taylor said in the pre-match press conference here.
Defending champions ATK coach Antonio Lopez Habas also said the team is looking forward to meet the icon.
"It's a big moment for Kolkata. Pele is a fantastic idol in world football."
Pele is on a one-week sojourn in India and will be leaving for Delhi tomorrow.
