Pele: The player who united a nation (BBC News)

Pele was a footballing legend the world over, but for people in Brazil he was so much more.

Again, many felt that was a weak position given his huge influence - and of course the turbulent politics that he lived through - including a dictatorship. Pele was also known to keep his head down when it came to politics. In fact, president Janio Quadros in 1961 even declared him a national treasure, which meant for years he couldn't be "exported" to play for clubs abroad, such was his hero status and importance for national pride. In a country where racism and classism are still so dominant, Pele, a black footballer from a poor background, was an incredible success story. When news eventually came of his passing, it was still a big moment. This is a moment that Brazilians had been expecting for some time but also dreading.

As Pele bows out, lets revisit the time when Pelemania gripped India (Business Standard)

He was the one footballer people who never watched a game of football knew and loved. Pele™ is immortal.

He was the one footballer people who never watched a game of football knew and loved. And then he went on to invent the idea of an individual global sporting superstar. The first time Pelé played in front of a stadium full of fans, he impressed them so much they threw coins at him. [football](/topic/football) legend was part of the New York Cosmos team that played Mohun Bagan in a one-off friendly at the Bagan Stadium in 1977. By just being brilliant, captivating crowds, and behaving like a being from the future, doing things that STILL provoke oohs and aahs from watchers. It has become easy to dismiss Pelé now for the generations that grew up watching colour television, Cartoon Network and in the shadow of the meme. That team bought their kits by selling peanuts they had to steal off a freight train in the first place. He returned to India in 2015, the chief guest at the Subroto Cup, a school-level tournament organised by the Indian Air Force, annually. The ruse falls apart within seconds, with Palekar almost immediately also admitting to reading a news article about Pelé arriving in Kolkata to be greeted by 40,000 pagal (madmen) at the airport. The Till finally, there was a stadium full of people singing the name, chanting it, as Pelé, a teenager, transfixed Till an entire planet knew it, saw the face in their heads as soon as the two syllables were up.

'Thank you, King': Brazil lights up in honour of Pele (BBC News)

Brazil begins first day of mourning the late footballing legend as landmarks are lit up in tribute.

He regularly faced monkey chants on the pitch and was called several racist nicknames. Lots of parallels have been drawn between Pelé and royalty - he was the closest Brazil had. But really, Brazilians will mourn for much longer. The front pages in Brazil were all talking about Pelé on Friday. He turned football into art, into entertainment. Pelé had been undergoing treatment for colon cancer since 2021.

'Ali was like a child' When Pele kissed Muhammad Ali (The Indian Express)

Two 'Greatest' athletes Pele and Ali would meet in New York for the first time in Pele's last competitive game: Santos vs Cosmos.

The crowd echoed back his love, and he would stand there, his face buried in his palms. Muhammad Ali, he was there on the field for that final game, and at that time, the two most recognizable people on the planet were the two of them. At the end of the emotional walk, Messing says Pele whispered to him, “one more time, please!”. Ali’s waving to the crowd, blowing kisses, doing the Muhammad Ali thing, and as soon as he walked into the locker room … Ali too came into the locker room and as the two legends hugged, a reporter asked Ali what he thought of Pele. Love!” And he would have his right fist up in the air. Cosmos’s Werner Roth presented Pele with a plaque that read: ‘To Pele the soccer player and Edson do Nascimento, the man. He was pale, he looked like he was about to faint. The game was broadcast in 38 countries, 650 journalists had turned up to cover. In truth, he needed the money. Both had come from deprived upbringing, two supreme black athletes, one a poster boy for anti-establishment, and the other for the establishment, but that day, the two stars drifted close to gape at each other. Still in the ring, he would comb his hair on live television and shortly after washing up, Ali would tell reporters: ‘Well, 10 million dollars might force me out for one more fight”.

The retired champion can at times turn grumpy but Pele was an exception and everyone wanted a piece of him, be it a country’s leader or the fan on the street. For most, Pele is a legend whose exploits are remembered, thanks to a gob-smacked earlier generation which witnessed him in his prime and was aware of the halo he exuded till his last breath in a hospital. Pele’s records are staggering and so is the glittering fact that he is the only player to have won three World Cups — 1958, 1962 and 1970.

When Pele was sick last month, Mbappe would tweet from the Qatar world cup: “Let us pray for the king”. He was so benevolent, a bit like a grandfather with his grandson.” He was staring at me and I have the impression that he saw himself again a little. And when I saw the shining eyes of the journalists during the press conference, I told myself that I was not the only one to be captivated by the man who was next to me.” He kept telling me, when we were face to face, that I reminded him of him when he was younger. “I see myself in his to play fast.

Pele and India: how the greatest won over a distant nation (ESPN India)

Today, football in India has changed, as has the nature of its fandom. But back in the day, how did Pele win over India?

After all the numbers and the books and the grainy archival film and even the glorious sunburst of that 1970 team, it still doesn't make sense. The football fan in Bangalore can hold their own on any debate with any football fan around the world. So much so that it led to several conspiracy theories - one that Pele had been unwilling to play at all and only the fear of widespread riots got him on the pitch. That perception was only underlined several times over in 1982, when the World Cup was finally broadcast in India; we got to see the team of Zico and Socrates and could get a better understanding of what the past must have been. On the morning of the match, the headline was simple: 'Today, all roads lead to Eden'. His exploits with Santos and Cosmos would have got almost no coverage in the newspapers and magazines of the day. Perhaps it was his record; even the rookie football fan knew about the 1,000 goals, a number to make the head spin. Most certainly it was the Brazilian style of football, o jogo bonito, the beautiful game. The news we got was from the one daily paper, with one sports page, where the foreign sports news was usually a day late. He was a footballer with - back in the 1970s - his best days behind him, plying his trade first in the Brazil, which might have been on another planet, and then in the equally remote North American Soccer League. Only a handful of fans in India would have seen him play in the flesh; another handful, at most, would have seen any sort of footage of the 1970 World Cup, leave alone grainy B/W clips of his starburst debut on the global stage 12 years previously. Coca-Cola's corporate might ensured its swirly logo was in every paan shop in the remotest corners of the country.
