Pele's busy schedule on Thursday included the official unveiling of two special cabinets in Legends of the Lane.

One celebrates the 30th anniversary of Laurie Cunningham becoming the first black player to play for England, and recognises the contribution of black players to the Blades.

The second cabinet is dedicated to Sheffield FC, the oldest club in the world, which celebrates its 150th anniversary this year - the rules they drew up then have been the blueprint for the modern game and are now currently on display at the Lane.
