Pele the Legend is known for all his footballing greatness but also the millions he inspired around the world.
The first global superstar with fandoms from Sao Paulo to Srinagar, from Kolkata to Kollam to Rio to Goa, he was a native to everyone, with fervent fans taking pride in his achievements and sharing in his pains.
Staying out of career defining controversies and seen as the good boy of football for over 6 decades is perhaps his most understated accolade.
His skill was matched by his kindness, his goals matched by his generosity, his trophies matched by his smile for everyone, and his statistics matched by his humanity, he united a country, connected the world, and is one of the greatest sportsman that has ever lived.
RIP Sir. Your legacy is forever ensured and billions will look up to you for guidance and inspiration in perpetuity
