I also consider myself lucky enough to see him play live. Probably on the same day as you Tim.
Certainly the best player I‘ve ever seen. He had everything. Great in the air, he could control the ball, pass, dribble and had a superb shot.
I’ve seen some truly wonderful players in my time, but he was, without doubt, the best of them all.
Many thanks for all the enjoyment you gave me Pele - and every one else who saw you play.
R.I.P.
