Oboy you have no idea what you're saying... The defenders back then we're butchers...

and the ball was so heavy...it was too hard to score from outside the box...
..

And yet he scored every kind of goal possible...there is no goal they score today he didn't score..

so stfu

Hambivert:
If Pele era came in this dispensation of the internet and technological advancements, no one would ascribe the GOAT status to anyone else but PELE.

It is even rumoured that even the late Queen Elizabeth in her younger and more glorious days was in awe of Pele that she broke the royal status quo by hugging him in the full glare of the media.

Pele was a phenomenon in and off the pitch. Surely the World of football have sparogatively lost an unrivaled gem.

RenaissanceGuy:
Hi, Pelé is a single entity and so it should go with 'has', not 'have'. You can say Pelé AND Maradona have chequered history, since they're plural. Have is not a past tense of has, but rather both are verbs. Please check Google for further understanding as you're fond of this error. All the best.

Una just dey shout greatest of all time. Pele era where defense be like water.. era wey you go play one slow ball to post keeper go stretch him life yet him hand no go reach. Check most of his goals.. cheap goals he wouldn't even score from the 90s till date. Pele was good but if he had played in this era, it wouldn't have been easy for him and he would have just being an ordinary player.

Don't get me wrong, Pele is great. If you say he's the greatest of all time, I won't argue because it's your opinion. Even someone like delima Ronaldo or Adriano Leite Ribeiro would have done wonders in that era.

JOemmy:



The ball used in his era was very heavy compared to the ones used now the pitch was also not as advanced in development like the ones today yet he still went on to achieve all he achieved in his carrier pls give him his accolades.

Its understandable that you were not born during his reigns; what an indomie generation we have.

judedwriter:
No doubt pele was the greatest ever footballer....

It's a pity most indomie generation don't know much about him but Messi and Ronaldo.

His speed, stamina and ability to score goals were next to none.

ultimateprof:
RIP, even though you played football when defence was porous and defenceless. If Pele have being a player now, he would have died an ordinary player. Thank God that nature smiled on him.

So talking about heavy balls and butchers, just imagine you had someone like Adriano Ribeiro Leite in that era.

headboyprince:
what do you mean...? That Adriano is better than Pele. Let me laugh sml

Most of you shouting Pele up and down didn't even watch him play...just hearsay and stories passed down from generations to generations. Except of course you were born or old enough to understand football between 1953 and 1977 ... Same way you'll pass down the story of zlatan ibrahimovic future kids would think he was even greatest ever.

KingAzubuike:

Where did I say he was better than Pele in the argument.. obviously from your comprehension skills, you're not worth arguing with.

KingAzubuike:

But Messi and Ronaldo? I am no fan of messi and ronaldo but kid be happy you were born to watch Messi and Ronaldo. They'll continue to be talked about in the next thousand years. Funniest thing is that most of you shouting Pele didn't even watch him well.. just hearsay and stories. How many of you were born or old enough to understand football between 1953 and 1977?. He was at his peak between 1956 and 1970.. were you born then ? If you were born how old were you ? How many people even had tvs in nigeria or had time for tvs then? If you had, did you watch him regularly like you do in todays football?

Better Stop deceiving yourself..

KingAzubuike:

Oga pounded yam generation. Pele started his football in 1953 and retired in 1977.. lets use 1977 when he retired.. how old were you then to understand football? Majority of you didn't eceb watch Pele well. How many people get time for tv in the 50s 60s and 70s? . just hearsay and stories

booblacain:


Do you think Messi or Ronaldo would have played any better if they had played in Pele's era, of course they would have played according to the level of knowledge of football then? Pele was an exceptional player, that is what is important. If he was born and played in this era, common sense should tell you that he would be playing differently and nobody would be talking about Messi or Ronaldo today.
