Brazilian football legend Pele has passed away aged 82, following a long battle with cancer.
The three-time World Cup winning icon, who is considered to be the world's first global superstar, initially undergone surgery to remove a tumour in his colon back in September 2021.
However, he was admitted back into hospital in November this year in a re-evaluation of his cancer treatment. He was soon after diagnosed with a respiratory infection before being moved to palliative care after his body stopped responding to chemotherapy.
