Pele dead thread

Just reported on sky

Pele dead

 

All opinions but the greatest in my lifetime.
That 1970 Brazil team were ridiculous, changed football.

RIP

 

... and a gentleman... none of the "ego has landed" that I ever saw in him ...

RIP Legend

 

The Holy Trinity of Cruyff, Maradona and Pele all gone then.

R.I.P.

 

Wasn’t around during his era but the man was ahead of his time and some. Watched enough of these to know:

 

Probably playing the best game of 'three and in' ever played up there. #oldskool

R.I.P.

 

Franz Beckenbauer, 'Der Kaiser', he puts on his arse there 58 seconds in. Pure ****ing magic...

 

I've watched a few of his WC games and much like that video, he's probably the only one that makes me laugh throughout purely bcos of what he does to the players he takes on. It's so ridiculously good.

 

Glad he won’t be around for when that little rat faced gobshite breaks his goal scoring record.

 

Espero que seus filhos tenham paus pequenos e isso inclui meninas

Just copy what I put on the Newcastle thread

Girlfriends Dad met him in person, they were sat together on a plane for a couple hours. He doesn't follow football at all so didn't have a clue who he was and Pele just started chatting away.

Asked about his life, what's Norway like, what does he do, general things. He thought he was a super super nice guy.

Then he saw him at Viking Football Clubs ground doing a PR thing on the Telly and was like "what the fuuuck."

RIP dude

 

only ever saw him play one game but what a game

He smashed them Germans but Sly Stallone was MOTM imo

RIP

 

Sad news.

A true great passes.

RIP.

 

I was 10 at the time of the 1970 World Cup... that Brazilian team were just ****ing mesmeric ... and he was the best of them ...

 

True genius of the game .

 

Still think it's a shame he never left Santos, and played all his club football in Brazil.

There's not enough film of him to judge.

International wise, he's without question.

But he never took a club like Napoli to two league titles, which they'd never won before or since, and to a European title.

And the Brazil teams were complete, unlike Argentina 1986.

Being a bit churlish I suppose, as he was undoubtedly in the top three ever.
