The responses yesterday showed he was a great man and a great player as well. A sad day for football.”

“Pele has died. The most divine of footballers and joyous of men. He played a game only a few chosen ones have come close to. Three times he lifted the most coveted gold trophy in that beautiful yellow shirt. He may have left us but he’ll always have footballing immortality. RIP Pele”

An inspiration for so many millions, a reference of yesterday, of today, of always.”
