RIP Pele (p9)

[Djibrilshairdo]

For someone of my 60s vintage, he was as much a mystical figure as he was a magical player. Those grainy images of 1970 and satellite commentary made it seem all the more exotic and added to his footballing god-like status, memories that have never faded. May he rest in peace.

Very sad news. I hope he lived his final hours in peace. Always came across to me as very humble considering all he achieved. Rest in Peace

Wonder if anyone on Blue Moon saw him in the '66 World Cup ? Didn't Brazil stay at the Lymm Hotel as their base ?

The only player to win the World Cup three times, lifting the trophy in 1958, 1962 and 1970, Pele was named Fifa's Player of the Century in 2000.

With today's training facilities and sports science, referee protection and billiard table pitches, he would have made Messi look like Barry Conlon. RIP.

Yes they stayed there, hotel demolished a couple of years ago.

The greatest ever footballer R.I.P.

I was 13 for the 1970 World Cup, and that Brazilian team was just something else.

Pele had a fantastic tournament he couldn't believe Gordon Banks saved that header.

Whether he was the GOAT thats for others to decide, I know I loved watching him and that team play football, that was on a different level.

RIP Pele and may perpetual light shine upon you.
