RIP Pele (p9)

[deano ou812]

Scousers are claiming him already and hes not even dead yet......

They’ll come out with something about him supposedly coming over for a trial but it fell through..

I was 7 when Brazil won the 1970 World Cup. I remember watching loads of games and I've loved football ever since.

In that era we were blessed with the best childhood heroes Pele, Muhammed Ali, Johann Cruyff.

82 is a good innings. It’ll be sad when he goes though. He was way before my time but it still feels like the end of an era.

Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Bell, Lee and Summerbee, Clive Lloyd, JPR Williams, Lester Piggott, Rod Laver, Billie Jean King, Joe Frazier, Graham Hill, Jackie Stewart, along with your picks absolute icons of sport through my formative years.

Probably the same as when Senna passed. Will knock the scenes of QE2's funeral into a cocked hat.

Football is far more important to Brazil than motor racing though. This will be incomparable

If they are letting the news out then the end is near - sad but fitting that he may pass whilst a World Cup is on

Pelé says he is feeling ‘strong’ after reports of move to end-of-life care

Brazilian football legend posts note to social media as hospital says he is in stable condition

I don't think the World Cup is ever talked about without mentioning Pele. A true icon of the game and the World Cup.
