The beauty of Pelé was how he captured the imagination of his generation with his dribbles, intelligence and physical prowess on the field with the football at his feet. An artist with the ball, a maestro on the grass and a powerful trickster who mesmerized millions, if not the whole world of Football. Salute to the GOAT.

Pelé has died

There will be no second Pele unfortunately because football has degraded into a cash cow and trickeries and even with the electronic system, VAR, the beautiful game has descended into treachery.

Long live Pelé the legend, long live football though it has changed and let’s hope we can still find solace and some pleasure from the game in the younger generations.

Multiple organ failure was confirmed as the cause of death for the 82-year-old, who had battled colon cancer throughout his life, by the Albert Einstein Israelite Hospital in Sao Paolo.
