‘O Rei’ was born in Tres Coracoes, Brazil, on October 23, 1940.
The three-time World Cup winner had been struggling with health issues for some time and was taken to hospital in early December.
“He is quite fragile in relation to his mobility,” his son Edinho told Globoesporte in early February.
“He had a hip transplant and did not have a proper, ideal rehabilitation. So, he has this mobility problem, which ends up leading to a certain depression.”
Pele will always be remembered for the great moments over his career, his goals and of course, titles.
On November 19, 1969, he scored his 1,000th goal for Santos against Vasco da Gama.
