RIP Pele (p9)

[SWP's back]

I hope the end comes quickly and as painlessly as possible for him at this stage. A genius of a footballer and lived quite a life.

Could someone post the highlights of the 58 WC final? His two goals are superb

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

Hopefully I was wrong as news since seems to indicate he is rallying at the moment - hope springs eternal

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.

It was always Cryuff for me - a magician

Sadly dont think he has much longer left.

Currently receiving treatment for cardiac and renal dysfunction as the cancer has spread to other parts of this body
