Not seen this anywhere else one the board, if I've missed a similar thread please feel free to merge.

Seems Pele's no very well, not quite intensive care but a few complications after a wee op

I'm sure I read somewhere earlier he is in intensive care? Either way it is a sad day. Too young to see him properly but the videos you do see prove the man was nothing short of a genius.

Am i right in thinking that Pele nearly played at the Leith San Siro in a testimonial game but got injured and couldnt make it .

He's not in intensive care - it's one notch down from that - source O Globo (via minha esposa)

The missus was telling me that there's an urban myth in these parts that the real Pele died in the early 70s and was replaced by someone else. This story comes from the suspicion people have that Pele never appears to age. :greengrin

He's on twitter saying he's fine and looking forward to the new year
