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.

No matter how many times i watch it i always think the keeper will get that.
And he never does...pure genius.
That's pretty amazing. Before my time but my family all spoke about him like he was a god, so I've watched a fair amount of footage of him over the years. Must have been a real honour to have seen him play in the flesh.
Shame he missed. Would have been a stunning goal.

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.

I remember renting this from the video shop as a kid, good grief it's awful. Pele was the only reason we rented it. RIP.
Rather inappropriate of the BBC referring to a tribute to Pele by confirmed racist Geoff Hurst.
Seems the British can't stop being racist cunts even for a day.

You really are a sad case.
Tiny little prick
And you can’t stop trolling even on a thread like this
Just a valid and pertinent observation. Pele would hardly want to be remembered in connection with an overt, confirmed English racist icon like Hurst, would he? It's poor form from the BBC.
And only you are interested
Just grieve for the great man and leave it at that why can’t you?
It seems Ed Vanderlay has deleted his post.
There are the British Isles and some people inhabit them, but Britishness as an identity is really right wing English identity with some Northern Irish and faux-Scottish sycophants clutching to the periphery.

What the BBC has done is like quoting Michael Jackson in tribute to Madeline McCann.
Honestly, you English cunts will accept all manner of racist debauchery. I'm actually quite impressed by how you pick and choose your standards.
Anyway, did you manage to catch Prince Andrew the musical this evening? Quite the romp.
You know that this is my night for tea with the minister where we compare brass rubbings!
RIP legend
