He was one of the greatest.

“Pelé changed everything. He transformed football into art, entertainment,” Neymar, a fellow Brazilian soccer player, said on Instagram. “Football and Brazil elevated their standing thanks to the King! He is gone, but his magic will endure. Pelé is eternal!”​

One of the greatest, yeah. Not the humblest of men when it came to his opinion of how be ranked in football, but he's close to the top. I'd put Maradona above him and Messi far above anyone else. Pele was a truly excellent footballer. But those other two played (and Messi still playing) a different game to everyone else. I can watch Pele and admire what he does. I watch Messi and I truly get emotional.

RIP Edson Arantes do Nascimento...
