Arguably the world's best player, he won a record three World Cups and helped to lift the game to new heights
Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, arguably the greatest player to have ever lived, has died at age 82. The former Santos and Brazil national team player had been battling numerous cancerous tumors recently. The term superstar does not begin to do justice when it comes to describing his accolades. He is considered by many to be the king of the sport.
"Everything we are is because of you," his daughter Kely Nascimento wrote on Instagram on Thursday. "We love you infinitely. Rest in peace."
