For a half-century, people who knew the name of only one soccer player knew Pele.

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.

Pele passed away after suffering “multiple organ failure” following a long battle with cancer.

It was an honour to have shared a pitch with him.” Like all legends, the King seemed immortal,” Deschamps said. “The king of football has left us but his legacy will never be forgotten. RIP Pele and thank you.” Rest in peace, King Pele.” “He transformed football into an art, into entertainment...

ब्राजील को तीन बार फीफा वर्ल्ड कप जिताने वाले लीजेंड पेले ने दुनिया को अलविदा कह दिया ...

इस तीसरी शादी से भी पेले दो बच्चों के पिता बने. इसके बाद ब्राजील के लीजेंड पेले ने 2016 में कुबूल किया था कि उन्होंने तीसरी शादी Marcia Cibele Aoiki से की है. पेले ने दूसरी शादी Assiria Lemos Seixas से 1996 में की थी. तीन पत्नियों से पेले 7 बच्चों के पिता भी बने. इस कारण पेले की पहली शादी भी टूट गई. पेले की बेटी केली नैसिमेंटो ने ही पेले को पिछले महीने अस्पताल में भर्ती कराया था.

The Brazil legend only ever played for two clubs in his incredible career but there was interest from some of Europe's biggest names.

Pele went on to score 37 goals during his time with the club and played his final game for the Cosmos against beloved former side Santos. I was at Santos, and at the time they were a powerhouse." The Brazilian attracted interest from teams in Italy and Spain and came close to a move to Inter, according to Ronaldo Nazario. The former Inter striker has penned a letter in the Gazzetta dello Sport where he recalled a story Pele told him about a possible move to Inter. Yet Pele only played for two clubs, Santos and New York Cosmos, in his 21-year career, and never made the move to Europe despite interest from some of the continent's top clubs. Had things worked out differently, I may have played for the Old Lady too," he wrote.

Pele's passing away on Friday has refreshed the vivid images of his much-celebrated visit with the New York Cosmos team, which played an exhibition match ...

Pele made his second visit to Kolkata 38 years later in October 2015 and met with the same craze and hysteria that had greeted him on his first visit. “Mohun Bagan was one of the best Indian club sides at that time with the likes of (Mohammad) Habib, Akbar, Sudhir Karmakar, Shyam Thapa, Gautam Sarkar, among others, filling up the roster under the coaching of the legendary P.K. As a footballer, I had always idolized Pele and decided to join Mohun Bagan from East Bengal dreaming to play against the Brazilian wizard,” reminisces Shyam Thapa, a legend in his own right. Those were the lucky few who could get hold of a ticket among the millions of his fans dying to catch a glimpse of the greatest footballer on earth. “I used to collect video recordings of Pele’s matches whenever I had a chance to visit abroad and would practice his trademark bicycle kicks and side volleys. And that put him on the highest esteem of Bengal’s football aficionado like no other player in the game.

Soumo Ghosh AIFF Media Team. NEW DELHI: The year was 1977. It was a different world, yet it was the same. The world was largely an analogue one – computers ...

I was too overwhelmed,” said Pradeep Chowdhury, one of the players that had the unenviable task of man-marking the Brazilian legend. Though Pele did not score a goal, some of his touches and a free-kick that was saved by Mohun Bagan goalkeeper Shibaji Banerjee, amply displayed the greatness of the man. “Chuni da (Chuni Goswami) was standing by my side on the podium and overheard this. Perhaps he never thought a club side from India could play the way we did,” he said. However, the mass hysteria that ensued once the Emperor set foot in the City of Joy was enthralling, to say the least. This really was the biggest achievement of my football career. First, there was the matter of around Rs 17 lakhs which the organisers doled out to have the King come to India and play. He was the King, and we were ordinary subjects of the game. It was a different world, yet it was the same. We were so overwhelmed that we even stopped our warm-up before the match just so that we could watch him.” The Dumdum Airport (now known as the Netaji Subhash Chandra International Airport) in Calcutta (now Kolkata) felt like a stadium around midnight of September 22, 1977; Pele was coming to town – along with his teammates from the New York Cosmos, who were to play an exhibition match against Mohun Bagan towards the end of a goodwill tour of Asia. Time and again, he rewrote the grammar of football.

Puma even paid the cameraman in order to ensure that they can get a perfect shot of Pele advertising their boots. Adidas was furious while Puma went on to ...

This is where the soaring popularity of Pele would enter the equation. By the 1940s, the brothers had decided to go their separate ways after their relationship deteriorated, with Adolf creating Adidas, while Rudolf set up Puma. Incidentally, on one occasion during the 1970 World Cup, he was paid $120,000 by boot manufacturers Puma to do just that.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola added that Pele had the potential to be successful in any era of the sport.

“Now I realise he was so strong and could do everything. And after when I was nine or ten, I started to watch some clips,” Guardiola said. “He didn’t just win three World Cups - it was a new thing when he came up.

Pele, regarded as one of the world's greatest footballers and the sport's original icon, passed away in Sao Paulo in Brazil on Thursday at the age of 82 due ...

For me, Pele remains the greatest of all time and I was proud to be on the pitch with him.” He was the minister of sport in Brazil from 1995 to 1998. Having scored a goal each in the 1962 and 1966 World Cup before netting four in 1970, he finished with a tally of 12 goals in football’s showpiece event. He went on to add: “The affection he always showed for me was reciprocal in every moment we shared, even from a distance. He combined artistry with athleticism and grace with gumption to reach the summit of his sport. Referred to as O Rei (The King) by his fans, Pele helped put Brazil on the sporting map at a time when his country was mired in poverty. Pele, regarded as one of the world’s greatest footballers and the sport’s original icon, passed away in Sao Paulo in Brazil on Thursday at the age of 82 due to multiple organ failure. By the time he finished playing for Brazil in 1971, he was the undisputed king. He showed that it is possible to come from the streets and climb the ladder of success provided you possess skill with the football at your feet. He donned the canary yellow of Brazil for the first time as a 16-year-old against Argentina in 1957. From floral tributes to heartfelt banners and murals, the outpouring of grief has been apparent in regions, including India, where he made multiple visits. Brazil, the vibrant flag-bearers of the beautiful game revelling in dance and music, has fallen silent.

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”.

Roger Federer was the Pelé of tennis. “Muhammad Ali was the Pelé of boxing. Michael Phelps was the Pelé of swimming. “His profile as a global icon of sporting excellence and high athletic achievement was an inspirational model which encouraged young men to transcend their limitations and defy all economic, social, cultural and political barriers.” Three times he lifted the most coveted gold trophy in that beautiful yellow shirt.” He lives on in our memories, in the memories of our grandparents.” “He turned football into art, into entertainment, he gave a voice to the poor, to Black people and, above all, he gave visibility to Brazil. “He played a game only a few chosen ones have come close to. Brazil is in mourning; the whole world is in mourning.” The stadium, in the state of São Paulo, is home to Santos F.C., the club where Pelé spent nearly his entire career. “And I was enchanted from that moment.

Pele's death has evoked heartfelt reaction from top sportspeople in India. The Brazilian FIFA World Cup superstar has visited India thrice.

Deeply saddened as the world mourns and bids a tearful adieu to the Eternal King, the legendary Pele today. He dazzled the world with his skills and rose from the ground to capture our hearts. “Deeply saddened as the world mourns and bids tearful adieu to the Eternal King…. Pele is the only player to win the FIFA World Cup thrice - 1958, 1962, and 1970. Heartfelt condolences to family, friends and fans.— Bhaichung Bhutia (@bhaichung15) The first was in 1977 when the Brazilian flew down for a friendly match against Mohun Bagan in Kolkata while playing for the New York Cosmos. Bhutia even interviewed Pele during a live media event in Delhi. You and your game will be missed always. Obrigada Sir Pele for teaching us the true spirit of sports! Your legacy will live on forever. 10 jersey like Pele did in his career, said, “A great loss to not just football but to the whole world of sports. There will never be another!

Pele, the winner of three World Cups, the scorer of a thousand goals, the short and muscular man who had electrifying pace and leapt high to beat taller players in the air and shot with both feet — the man who played with the intelligence of a genius and the joy of a child. Pele, who scored six goals in the last three matches in the 1958 World Cup, and led the fantastic team of 1970 to the title. Pele, who played the last of his four World Cups in 1970, had become a sort of mythical figure in the last decades of his life, famous among the young for being famous, and for being the hawker of credit cards and soft drinks, not for being indisputably the greatest footballer of all time. But with the advent of cable TV and the internet, fans started following players on the basis of their club rather their country. If you conducted a poll on the greatest of all time — GOAT — today, Messi and Portugal’s Ronaldo are likely to end 1-2. The second-greatest Edison of all time, a man luminous and electrifying on the football pitch, was never known by his real name — he was known simply as Pele, a label which has obscure and disputed origin.

Pele at football, Pele of Brazil, Pele as the greatest, is tattooed on minds in a script of the game that even those who know little to nothing of football, know of.

The pull of Pele — who died on Thursday at 82 — wasn’t bound by geography.

"I see myself in his to play fast. He is a striker who thinks quickly," Pele had said about Kylian Mbappe.

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.
