Really sad news. The best footballer ever, in my opinion. He had no weakness to his game, at a time when brutal tackling was the norm.
He got mercilessly clogged out of it by the dirty Bulgarians in 1966. Glad he came back with a bang in 1970. Probably the greatest player ever - WELL AHEAD of the Argie drug addicted cheat
Pelé no longer responds to chemotherapy & is under palliative care to avoid pain & shortness of breath. There is no longer any treatment for the bowel cancer, which has metastasized to Pelé’s lungs & liver. Prayers for the King of football #pele #KingOfFootball #brazil
Not only one of the world’s greatest players, but a fantastic ambassador for his country & the game as a whole..
