Football was left to mourn the passing of a true great on Monday evening when it was confirmed that Pele had passed away at the age of 82.
Widely considered the best player to have ever graced a football pitch, Pele scored 77 goals in just 92 international appearances for Brazil and was a major part of La Selecao's famous teams that won three FIFA World Cups between 1958 and 1970.
Among several accolades, Pele was voted World Player of the Century in 2000 and named by Time Magazine as one of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th Century. He is even thought to have trailblazed the bicycle kick.
