I don’t care how old you are, where you were born, this man was football and always will be.
RIP Pele.

Another good video is 1970 Pele vs Czechoslovakia on youtube. There Pelé showed all his playmakers ability. All touches.

Sad day, he always seemed humble and approachable. Legend is used far to much these days but this guy deserves that label and more. Multiple time world cup winner, one of the greatest scorers of all time and very skillful to boot.

True legend
RIP

He didn't score but I think it's the perfect example of his football intelligence being on another level.


The top Youtube comment says "The greatest goal never scored." It's up there.

Official records show he passed away at the age of 82 but Pele himself claims he was 247.
Please this cannot be allowed here, a legend has just died. I know the poster has a longstanding history here but I can't be the only one that thinks this

Fantastic video, many clips from which I have never seen before. A great example to today's generation why he is regarded with such legendary status.

Being in a world without either Diego or Pele is weird for some reason. Rest in peace, legend

Such sad news. RIP to the greatest player to ever play the game. He is out of pain now.

It was a piece of genius.

Blomqvist actually scored one of those.

RIP Pele. His embodiment of all that is good in football lives forever. Fortunate we have recordings of the joy and the magic he created on the field to be able to reminisce.

I remember watching the 1970 World Cup.

Brazil, maybe the greatest international team of all time, with Pele as their iconic player.

RIP.

I'm glad he made it to Christmas. RIP

Definitely the best player of the 60s.
