Pele moved into end of life care.

I'm too young to have seen him play but he is widely regarded as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) players of all time. He won three World Cups in Brazil's golden era and redefined the position of the modern striker. I hope he pulls through. If not, may he rest in peace.

I'm not quite sure how others here remember him playing , at least for Brazil. I'm one of the oldest here , and I was six at his last world cup.

I do remember all the old footage though , and I do know I fell in love with Brazilian football from '74 onwards , and a lot of that had to do with his legacy and the way he/they played the game.

Sad news.
