The legendary football player has taken a big bow at 82 after a tough fight with cancer.
Pele, who passed away at the Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo was regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.
The former striker, exceptional in his life-chosen career, was recorded as the only player in history to win three World Cups.
Brazil’s joint all-time top scorer with 77 goals in 92 matches, an icon of the game after winning the World Cup in 1958 as a 17-year-old, netting twice in the final to defeat hosts Sweden describes his personality.
Shortly before his passing, he was seen captured in an emotional moment as he said goodbye to his family and friends.
Pele, born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, to a poor family in Sao Paulo, won 1958, 1962, and 1970 World Cups with Brazil.
