You really are a sad case.
I grew up years after he had retired but in the playground kids still wanted to be Pele. His name was just synonymous with football greatness.
If there is a Mount Rushmore of football he's the first one on there.

Whenever I've watched footage of him he's always struck me as some sort of time traveller. As if a modern, athletic and well trained striker had somehow materialised in the past. His style of play wouldn't look out of place in today's Prem.
damn
Part of my childhood has just been taken away.
What an amazing footballer.
Rest in Peace - you made the world a more beautiful place

I was twelve in 1970, you asinine half wit.Mick Cooper and
Bazali were both 40 at the time, pretty sure they say watched him back in 1970
I did watch him play in the 70 world cup (on TV) and I also watched him play for Santos in a friendly match at Hillsborough in 1971/72, bunked off school with a load of Wednesday fans to watch the game. Had some of the other WC winners as well, Carlos Alberto IIRC.
Got a major bollocking from my dad, for coming home late, it was fucking cold.
No matter how many times i watch it i always think the keeper will get that.
And he never does...pure genius.
Although it feels we were just waiting for this news, it's still a shock when it actually happens.
RIP to a giant of the game we love, doubt we'll ever see his like again.

Tiny little prick
It doesn't matter how many times i watch it that dummy on the goalkeeper is still one of the most brilliant things i've seen on a football pitch.
It's just a shame he didn't actually score. But the fact he did it showed his footballing mind was a step ahead of those around him.

And you can’t stop trolling even on a thread like this
You really have no limits to your plastic virtue signalling based trolling do you?
From someone who claims to be a Scot, quite the most racist country known to man, who when they aren't abusing people by their skin colour, hair colour or generally coming from anywhere south of Hadrian's wall - they simply fight with each other over a religious division.
If you want t to significantly improve things around here and influence opinion, then just close your account and go elsewhere.
Thanks for shitting on a thread that has become a memorial to a legendary footballing icon.
Clogger.
Never even won a major European trophy, the fraud.
