Edson Arantes do Nascimento aka Pelé 1940-2022

Quite simply put, the greatest football player of all time and an inspiration for many millions. Went from shining shoes and triumphed over racism to win three World Cups and scoring 1,281 professional goals when you count the friendlies, which were often against high-profile European sides.

He is to football what Muhammad Ali is to boxing and Don Bradman is to cricket. His name will never be forgotten.

Rest in Peace.
