Brazil legend and footballing icon Pele has sadly passed away at the age of 82 following a battle against cancer.
Born as Edson Arantes do Nascimento, he became better known as 'Pele' and is widely considered the best player to have ever graced a football pitch. He, remarkably, scored 77 goals in just 92 international appearances for Brazil and was part of world-renowned teams that won three World Cups between 1958 and 1970.
Pele's 21-year domestic career saw him represent just two clubs. Debuting in 1956 for boyhood team Santos, he made 636 appearances for the club prior to spending two years with New York Cosmos of the now-abolished North American Soccer League. Upon retirement in 1976, he had scored 655 club goals in 700 games.
