RIP, my childhood hero. I remember watching the world cup in 1970 and thinking that he wasn't human. He was so good that in the semi final, he produced the greatest bit of skill I've ever seen in my life, and he didn't even touch the ball.

[Tunde....Ballack]

Certainly the most iconic footballer, renowned worldwide, will never be forgotten. Expect him to be honoured world-wide over the next week.

To me and my generation he was the greatest. In my eyes, he will be forever the greatest. To accomplish what he did with the conditions, equipment, and rules of his time, and still besting the players of subsequent eras is just phenomenal. REST IN PEACE O REY!

RIP Pele 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Legend will never be forgotten

[LeFaviere]

He is the GOAT because he was the most complete player of all time and had a pyhiscal side who was brutal and could be even better today. He played in a early and harder era, with heavier ball and precarious technology.

And after all that he had the best thing that a human being could have: love.
