A different choice of words for post title would be more appropriate

I saw that he was responding to treatment for a respiratory infection. Maybe he's not done yet

In all seriousness though, I hope he recovers or if that fails, that he passes painlessly.

Our youth soccer team went to a NASL game. Coach picked the Cosmos because we would always remember watching Pele. He was old then, but everybody was there to see him.

My teammates and I were more excited to see Kyle Rote Jr because we were positive, he was going to be the best player in the world.

I'm guessing you're 54. How close am I?

Hey, you know what would make Pele feel better and maybe fully recover?

A picture of your lucky shirt!

I did see that Pele did say he'd be watching the game from the hospital today and his family released a statement saying he wasn't as bad off as the media had made it sound.

The pitch to get that made

Let's make the Great Escape with Pele and other soccer stars and instead of Steve McQueen let's get Rocky

It's not wrong.

He will die.

At some point.

This is certain, eventually.

FWIW, your title made me giggle.

Gonna be wild when this thread gets ttt in like 10 years when he does pass and OP is like "I TOLD YOU!"

Youre right. I will definitely come bump this thread when Pele dies and claim to be a fortune teller.

Sad to hear.

Hopefully the networks show plenty of highlights to remind younger generations how great he was.

Hope he was well enough to enjoy the World Cup and he was the only real reason I was rooting for Brazil this year.

RIP.

If you haven't seen it - watch the movie Victory.

Prayers for him. What an inspiration to all of humanity.

For many of us he was the only soccer player we even knew of growing up.

The movie Victory.

Bicycle kick attempts.

Grade school for me - at under 80 pages, he had the shortest biography in our library, so was a very popular read for book reports.

RIP Pele

He visited practice for my youth soccer team in East Texas once. It must have been mid-to-late 70s. I have no idea how that came about. Maybe that's something he did a lot. We were pretty excited about it. He was well known at the time even to us youngsters. Probably the only professional soccer player most of us knew.

Don't forget about the 1986 box office hit Hot Shots.

Pele married, at some point, my wife's distant cousin.

They divorced eventually but my bil got a signed soccer ball out of the deal.

Strangely enough, my bil also has a signed baseball by Michael Jordan via another uncle who was a part owner of the white Sox.

Then, my other uncle has a Cassius clay autograph he got on a napkin in NYC in the 60s.

Not sure one could compile a bigger list of sports stars

I don't know how I knew about him in the 90s but I did. Pele and Maradona. And Eric Wynalda.

I believe the "helicopter" move was called the Pele move.
