I am just now learning that Pele is not a 35 year old man.  I don't know shit about fuck when it comes to soccer, but I knew the name Pele.
RIP to the king of the game. Legend. >

He's arguably one of the primary reasons why soccer became the most popular sport in the world. RIP >

Retired ~50 years ago and remained a household name. >

Seriously though! As someone who doesn't follow sports all that much, it wasn't until a few years ago that I realized Pelé was an older man and not some present day sports superstar given how common it was to hear his name mentioned whenever soccer/football came up.
