Simply the best, better than all the rest, RIP PELE!

Surprised not been mentioned, not strictly Rovers related, but we are all Football fans, quite a few on the forum would not have seen much of him , but IMHO he was simply the best, on and off the field by some distance, World cup 3 times( scored twice as 17 year old in 58 , star of the greatest national team ever (BRAZIL) 1970, whereas , Ronaldo, Messi, Maradona, divide opinions ,not so Pele. It is along standing regret of most of us that we did not see him at his best in 66 due to him being 'kicked' all over the pitch by lesser players, which led him to Question whether he wanted to play again, so glad he did so he and his team mates could light up the 1970 tournament, many memories of him from 1970,,completely fooling the goal keeper with an audacious move, laying on the 4th goal in the final, allowing Banks to make 'that' save , and the sportsmanship twixt him and Bobby Moore, thanks for the memories, RIP Pele!
