If you haven’t seen Pele playing football,
then you haven’t seen anything.
Everything that you see a player doing today,
Pele did it first! The only player to win 3 World Cup medals
with 1283 goals in 1,363 matches in his career!
The extraordinary feat in football is not to
score 1,000 goals but to score 1 goal like Pele.
Pele, you transformed football
into an art and entertainment,
bringing joy and creativity, and
turning it into a beautiful game.
The accolades were aplenty but
the two that stand out are:
l IOC - Athlete of the Century.
• l FIFA - Footballer of the Century.
Before you, No.10 was just
a number on the jersey.
But today, it is a reflection of the
King who transformed the game.
You are the greatest footballer of all times!
Although the poetry in motion that used
to fill us with joy is gone forever,
your memories will be etched in
our minds eternally.
From,
Siddhartha Brazil
