I was just about to post the same sad thing :(

One of my first sports memories was seeing him do that bicycle kick. RIP Pele.

American kids in the 70's had plenty of baseball and football heroes to choose from, but we had very little exposure to soccer... until Pele joined the New York Cosmos. That was a big deal. The sport needed a face here, someone who transcended the game itself, and he was the right guy at the right time. Few of us knew much about the game but everyone knew who Pele was. 

First athlete I remember having his own video game. Pele's Soccer for Atari 2600.  He was that big here.  Sad to hear this news.

Trivia Question

Name the movie that included Pele, Sir Michael Caine, and Sylvester Stallone?

I personally don't know without looking it up so I can't claim that victory sorry. Anyway, really sad to see, even for someone who wasn't alive for his playing days. Everybody knows who he is and he was one of the greats.

The movie also included several international football players both as actors and as stuntmen. I used to have this on DVD until borrowed by one of my friends and never returned.

See what you did in that response!
