Sad - but he lived a terrific life.
Id say he was the greatest player of his generation….. the games progressed so much that others deserve “greatest” recognition.

Great player.
Pretty **** human. Refused to acknowledge his daughter after 13 positive paternity tests, and refused to support her during her (eventual) terminal cancer diagnosis.
Guess who was there for him during his care?
Her kids.

He also saw the same girl as Senna at the same time, who he would also beat up and offer out to his friends ‘for the weekend’.

Of course, this won’t be reported over here…

I can still remember as a young kid watching that Brazil v England game in the middle of the night in the 1970 World Cup.
R.I.P Pele

Remember seeing him play in the early 70s at the time there was no match for him - RIP
