What a pleasure it was to have seen the greatest player not only of his generation but of all time. RIP.

I hope BBC can put together a documentary to highlight Pele's great skills and ability - not just for younger people, but also for older gits (like me).
I've said since the 1st time I saw him that Messi was even better; and abilities naturally improve over time (as all athletes' records improve yearly).
But I'd still like to see again Pele's great abilities, for comparison's sake. In my mind Pele has never been bettered before, and has different qualities to Messi, but I still rank Messi slightly above.

As one of the older gigs that Talksaft mentions, I also feel so privileged to have been able to see Pele at the height of his footballing powers. For me, he is the greatest player I’ve ever seen among a long line of outstanding players including not just Messi and Ronaldo but also Eusebio, Charlton, Best and, of course, Zohore
