Very sad, knew it was coming, but still stings. He was a childhood hero of mine. I still remember the excitement of going to see him play against George Best in a New York Cosmos/LA Aztecs games in the mid '70s. _________________ You thought God was an architect, now you know

I just read that. Even as a kid when I know most of the other adults in my community didn't really know much of anything about soccer, they all knew Pele.

I'm not a soccer fan the only name I really know is Pele. He was famous for the bicycle kick. Was he the first to do it? RIP _________________ Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.

This. His name was universally known by everyone when I was growing up. From an outsiders perspective, he certainly lived a good one.
100%. I came to the States in 1980 as a 4 year old. Elvis, the Beatles, Bruce Lee, Pele and Mohammad Ali were names I was somehow already familiar with. I'm sure kids born a bit later would throw Michael Jackson into that mix. True international icons. _________________ KOBE
