The King is dead but not forgotten.

This probably deserves to be seen by more than will see it here.

I’ll move to the lounge if you desire.

Thanks,

I'll defer the location decision to you.

In soccer, they don't retire great players' numbers.
Pelé's greatness was so transcendent that since his retirement, #10 has traditionally been used by the best (offensive) player on a team, whether a club or a national team, worldwide, and that started after Pelé used the number for the Brazilian national team and his club team, Santos (and, for a couple of years in the '70s, the New York Cosmos). That was even the case when Brazil's arch-rival Argentina's third-greatest player ever (before you ask, Messi and Di Stéfano are/were the top two) got cocaine on it wore it in the 1980s.

Funny, I could never get into soccer and know so little about it. Point is, I can not name one single other player in soccer besides Pele so that is truly saying something about greatness. RIP the Great one.
