Pele died.

I always enjoyed watching him play. I even did one of his infamous "Bicycle Kicks" in junior high to successfully block a goal! Just wish it was turf and not a gravel field I can down on...A special prayer for Pele tonight.
A player and gentleman. Will be missed.

Never really been a football fan but this man I was aware of mainly I guess due to his turn in Escape to Victory

One of the craziest casts ever. Michael Caine, Sly Stallone and Pelé--who thought of that?Never really been a football fan but this man I was aware of mainly I guess due to his turn in Escape to Victory

His death actually caught everyone by surprise in Brazil, and that's a shame; he was mostly abandoned and forgotten. It seems that he was more famous overseas than here.
His mother is still alive at the age of 100.

He was beautiful to watch. There is a Pele documentary in Amazon or Netflix which is well worth a view.
Very few people have single- handedly redefined a sport in the same way as Pele did with football. Ali with boxing, arguably Jonah Lomu with Rugby League. Cannot really think of any others.
