RIP Pele

[helpimonfire]

A real footballer, not like the over hyped dross we get told are brilliant in the modern day game.

I loved hearing my dad talk about how he saw Pelé play (and get lumps kicked out of him ) at Goodison in 66. I only saw him in the clips that were available, but he was magical, and liked every other kid, I wanted to play like Pelé. I even forgave him for destroying my beloved Sweden in the 58 Final.

Bless you Pelé, a true legend of the game

Pele, Eusebio, Yashin.....we didn't see much footage of them which added to their mystique.

Well they all played at GP in the WC in 1966 of course, but our scouting team didn't rate any of them, so they slipped through the net. Nothings changed lol

What a player,THE name in football when I was growing up and still the main man for me,RIP Pele but what a legacy left?

Definitely the best player to grace Goodison Park.
As you said Dario the main man whilst I was playing my street football.
Another bit of my childhood gone.
RIP Pele, what a player, what a man.

That dummy he did on the goalie that time! Never forget it, he didn`t scored though, hit the post i think but what an effort. Magical. RIP.

I've said it before but worth repeating today. His misses had more magic than most goals.

RIP Edson Arantes Do Nascimiento. O Rei. Pele.

Regardless of who's G.O.A.T. - it'll always be Pele who's considered the King of Football.

He's like Ali, an icon. Death wont diminish the legend, just add more to it.

RIP ultimately a brill player, apparently

A top player was Pele. No doubt. Alongside Messi he has no equals. Different eras different rules so can't separate them. That said if you're 1-0 down with 5 minutes to go you'd always prefer to have Duncan Ferguson to bring on than either of those two.
