Me and you post from the exact news source Haza, so I went ahead and delete my thread.

But yeah, a definite icon to the world of soccer that will sorely be missed.

RIP

I don’t watch soccer, but is he the reason for the move Pele Kick? Like the wrestling one.

He was so smooth.

Never saw him live (obviously)

But he made his team dope.

If you ever want an idea of just how feared Pele was as a player, watch this game where he got mercilessly kicked from pillar to post by a Bulgaria team that's only instruction had been to hurt him, as they knew just how dangerous he was.
