The first footballer I noticed who played that different,other worldly game and worthy of divine status with all football lovers. Along with those departed souls Cruyff and Maradona,sheer genius. It doesn't sound too good for him but let's hope he might be spared a while longer to enjoy The Beautiful Game.
Sad news. Always comes across as a likeable bloke. In reality, no one can really say he was the greatest as the only exposure to the wider world would have been from the world cups. But as mentioned above, probably the first major great of the game.
it’s ironic that Pelé is going through this as a World Cup is in process. It’s almost as if the World Cup competition is serenading Pelé in the twilight of his life. (I didn’t want to say his life is ending but it very well could be). The 1958 World Cup has always been synonymous with the football genius of Pelé.
And so to my premonition dream last night. A young resurgent England go all the way to the WC final where they meet a talented Brazil side in the final who are fired up to levels unseen since the seventies due to the passing of the Great man the day before the final .

Name a footballer? Pele.

Not the greatest for me, but that’s for another time.
He's 100% regarded as the first major great of the game.
