Pelé, one of football's all-time greats, dies aged 82

Pelé, widely regarded as potentially the greatest player of all-time, has died aged 82. The Brazilian burst on to the scene as a young 17-year-old at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, scoring a memorable brace in the final against the hosts.

From there he never stopped scoring, 12 years on at the 1970 World Cup he won the Golden Ball and scored a towering header in the final against Italy. In 1999, he was named Fifa's co-player of the century, alongside the late Diego Maradona. He'll be remembered as one of the all-time greatest forwards the game has ever produced.

​Looking at his Assist and Goal Ratio also the 3 WC i would say HE IS THE GOAT

Calling him as "one of" is a shame for this channel. Pelé is undisputed acclaimed as the greatest ever soccer player. Shame on you.
