He just passed away. He was the first player that I was obsessed about and tried to learn everything about. I had bought his autobiography in Iran although later when I read it in English I realized they had cut out many parts of it for unknown reasons (for example the remainder of Brazil's match against France in the 1958 semifinals after Brazil went up 2-1). True legend in international soccer.
I recently saw some of Pele's old clips. Unfortunately the evidence of his games are limited as cameras weren't in every football ground like today. But from what I saw, Pele was the first to do everything that we saw later from other players. Every skill that Maradona, Messi have done, Pele did them first. Even the famous Cruyf turn, Pele did it first.
RIP legend.
RIP legend.
