The greatest ever in my opinion. A sad day but what a player.

Oh no, it’s been coming though hasn’t it

 

[lawros left foot]

So sad,a genuine legend of the game.

 

[trueblue]

That's sad. What a privilege that you got to see him play live. A few weeks back there was a brilliant video of all the modern greats showing off their skills - matched by archive footage of Pele doing the same thing, long before. Worth seeking out.

 

[Eric the meek]

Indeed. What a player he was.

RIP.

Genuinely choked to hear the news. Great player and great ambassador for 'the beautiful game'.

 

[Weststander]

RIP Pele, footballing God.

I can only remember the NY Cosmos part, but the astonishing records, 3 WC’s and the footage say it all.

 

[smudge]

The first football kit I ever wanted and eventually my Mum got it from Swift Sports. Brazil 1970. We were all Pele down the rec.
The greatest ever, RIP.
