Pele

Reports are suggesting he's receiving end of life care after he wasn't responding to chemotherapy .

Real sad news , not only was this man the greatest player ever to have played this game he was also very humble and a superb ambassador for the game .

Great player.

Would have made a far better FIFA President than the Platini/ Infantino lot.

I once saw him in a friendly at Hillsborough, I got a late invite so had to throw a sicky at work. He was at the end of his playing days but that didn’t matter he could have stood on the half way line for all I cared I just wanted to see the man on a football pitch.

Brilliant that doggy , in my opinion he's the greatest player ever to have played this game .

Three world cup winners medals and over a thousand goals .

Never left his beloved Santos until the very end of his career when he joined New York Cosmos .
