A giant.

From a time saving your legs was the number 1 concern on the field.
Respect from Italy.

I named my son Thomas Peleh _ _ _ _ . He loves that his middle name is so much like the legend's.

When I played soccer in elementary school this movie came out. Pelé played for Brazil until he got older. Then he went to the USA and played for MLS, he still kicked all the younger guys' asses as an older player.

Not a soccer fan but I've seen some clips of him. Nothing short of amazing.

Is it pronounced “Pay Lay” or “Puh LAY”?

He was incredibly skilled.
And I’m not a huge soccer fan.

A true Icon
Pele is one of the few sports Legends that people who know nothing about their sport and couldn't name a single other player still know their name.
Richard Petty is another one.

Damn, surprised he was still alive. I thought he honestly died earlier.

Not a soccer fan but I definitely respect the guy. Being one of the all time best at anything takes a level of dedication 99.9% of people can’t comprehend

RIP sir

Saw him when he played for the NY Cosmos around ‘76, maybe ‘77. They came to Tampa to play the Rowdies at Tampa Stadium.. I don’t remember anything about the game except for one kick.

Pele had one of his players on a breakaway on one side of the field, while he was on the other side. He kicked it 60 yards in the air and his teammate never had to break stride and scored. Amazed me enough where I can still see it 45 years later.

He was the greatest to ever play on the pitch.

This is a good movie about his soccer style.

I know almost nothing about soccer, and I could probably only name maybe three players, but Pele is one of them. That tells me right there that he was a giant.

Absolutely.

You don't have to be a soccer fan to know his name and to know how good he was.

Oh man, that sucks.

He was the true goat, maybe the biggest sports star, ever. And a good guy from everything I’ve heard.

RIP legend, you had a storied life.

They dang sure should, if not bigger.

As other have said, the man was a legend; everyone knew who he was.

Legend! RIP

He was in a not very well known movie with Sylvester Stallone called Victory. It's actually a decent movie.

Posted: 12/29/2022 4:38:42 PM EDT

Sad day for his family, fans all over the world, and Brazil.

He was an icon of the sport, a true gentleman, and effectively the best public relations ambassador known around the world that the Brazilian government will ever have.

Posted: 12/29/2022 4:39:54 PM EDT

He was the shizzle in the 70s when there was a sort of soccer renaissance in this country..

Posted: 12/29/2022 4:40:31 PM EDT

Back in the day I had never heard of him until we got an atari game with his name on it.

Legend of sport, not just soccer.

I had a Pelé lunchbox when I was in 1st grade, he was my favorite.

Wow . . . knew that he was older than myself, but had no idea he was 82 yo.

RIP, and thanks for the memories.
