Had the honour of seeing him at Hampden in  1966  a proper legend in the greatest sport in the World

 

RIP Sir Pele

So no jump from 41 to 1 on next year's list.

Well, there's highs and lows here 

 

It secures my top 40 place in DDP and gives me an oh-so-needed space free on 2023's list.

The low is the loss of one of the very greatest of all time, who toe-punt Vs Wales aside, had skills that  pretty much sowed the seeds of the inspiration behind some of the other greatest footballers of all time (Cruyff, Maradona, Zico)

honestly… I'm glad he didn't see 2023, it leaves a space for another name (Linda Nolan or Isabel Peron maybe)

So sad to hear about him passing away... But so happy to have a new free spot for my 2023 list...

Good God. I would be lying if I call it a surprise, though. May he rest in peace. 

 

Andy Warhol once said, "Everyone will get their 15 minutes of fame, Pelé will have 15 centuries."

Religious or not, I can only imagine we are all heeding the request of the Pope, and praying that Benedict is sustained just a wee bit longer...

In the dying minutes as the ball left his head he shouted ‘I’m making it to 2023’.

 

The grim reaper had other ideas…

RIP Pele, you walked (with the original dickpill ads) so every modern-day podcaster (with BlueChew) could run.

I think Pele's death has broken the forums because it is currently taking me about 3 minutes to load a single page.

Took me 10 min just to login.

All this for someone who did an overhead kick in the crappiest war movie ever!

Pele sure did break the system, my posting took about 20-min to get out there.  (there were no postings when I started it)

Isabel Peron is just old as fair as I know. What Zhu Rongji instead.
