he suffered an injury, a knee when he suffered an injury, a knee injury which ended his football dreams and plunged the family into poverty with no easy way out. and pele was a shoeshine boy. so pele's mother was absolutely dead set against the idea of him taking up a career in football. it was an insecure profession, "you are only ever one injury away from the scrapheap." and that voice of fear was always in pele's mind. he had the pride in his profession that he inherited from his father, the easy—going smile that he inherited from his father, but the fear he inherited from his mother. and you put the two together, and you get a human being absolutely determined to get every last bit out of the gifts that nature has given him. and that drive is not switched off when he stopped playing. he became a defender of his legacy, and why not?

because this poor kid, born as i said just 52 years after brazil abolishes slavery, was, i don't know if it is still the case, he was the most recognised name on the entire planet. what a story that is.- planet. what a story that is. there can't be many _ planet. what a story that is. there can't be many others _ planet. what a story that is. there can't be many others who - planet. what a story that is. there can't be many others who have - planet. what a story that is. there | can't be many others who have our mistakes described as beautiful. fist mistakes described as beautiful. git the 1970 world cup, he didn't want to play it originally, his career, so much of it, it is the perfect three acts, the hero emerges as an enchanting teenager and conquers the world, the hero then goes through trials, he is injured during 1962, he has kicked out of night as city six, will he pay at 1960? —— 1966.

he always leaves them wanting more. some of the moments he gave us, some that are remembered, the attempt from the halfway line, it is rare these days, it was unthinkable then. the header that produces the save from gordon banks, the move against uruguay, he throws a dummy, just fails to score. how on earth did he think of that? how was he capable of it? even these things that word goals are still remembered, because it isn'tjust goals are still remembered, because it isn't just what you do, goals are still remembered, because it isn'tjust what you do, it is how you do it, and nobody did it better than pele. ht you do it, and nobody did it better than pele. . , , g, g, than pele. it has been a gift to have you _ than pele. it has been a gift to have you on — than pele. it has been a gift to have you on the _ than pele. it has been a gift to have you on the programme, i than pele. it has been a gift to i have you on the programme, tim vickery in rio. we can cross live to salford now and bbc sports presenter holly hamilton. huge number of tributes coming in

from every part of the world. we: from every part of the world. it's been a joy _ from every part of the world. it's been a joy to _ from every part of the world. ut�*s been a joy to listen to term, and i've never had the opportunity to meet or interview pele but even despite that, having listened to the stories and seen the videos over the years, we know he transcends generations, those memories, the ones you been talking about, have been passed down from others the fathers, sons and daughters. he was the first global superstar of football, that started at the age of 17, it's almost unthinkable to win a world cup at that age and to go on and win two more, the only player to win the world cup three times, 1958, 1962 and 1970. a total of 1281 goals

in that incredible 21 year career. it is beyond the goals and the triumphs, it is those moments, even the mrs, that will stay in our memories. his style, positivity that made him a joy to watch. even when he missed. that support during the world cup, it was almost fitting his last lucid days were during the tournament. he was in hospital at the time, and resort the players and fans across the world showing their support for this legend. we know his appeal is global, he's also partially responsible for the spread of soccer in the usa, because his name alone adds credibility. when the north american soccer league was formed, to try to spread soccer to the us, pele was a target, so he

finishes club career as part of that star—studded new york cosmos side. we've talked about it, his work off the perch, brazil's neymar made that incredible tributes, the joint record scorer for brazil. he said he gave a voice to the poor. there was a great quote from the brazilian ambassador to the un, pele played football for 20 due years and he did more in that time to promote world friendship and fraternity than any other ambassador. friendship and fraternity than any otherambassador. he friendship and fraternity than any other ambassador. he may be gone, his legend will live on through the stories we've been hearing. i know for a fact no matter what, there will always be young children across the world wearing that iconic yellow shirt with pele emblazoned on the back. , . ., ,

that he played, and it began a culture about football because of this man. and it is a very sad day that it happens. but we have that legacy that he left, and it has stayed for generations. it is a tribute to him and to all of the players that made football so much a passion in my country. world leaders have also paid tribute. former us president barack 0bama tweeted...

and president—elect of brazil lula da silva posted: henry winter, chief football writer for the times, has also words for pele and his achievements, not just in football, but also in brazil. he spoke to my colleague. pele has left us but his legacy is immortal. it is not simply asjoe was describing so eloquently, his career with three world cups, the 77 goals for brazil the 77 goals for brazil and goals for santos. it was also how he played the game, with that lay—off to carlos alberto for brazil's fourth goal in one

of the greatest finals of all time until messi one week or so ago. and pele was great fun. if you went to an event with him, and i was fortunate enough to go several times with him, he was great company and enjoyed life. but as neymar has very emotionally tweeted, as you just said then, the work that he did by his example, but also by raising funds and awareness for underprivileged, for great 0rmond street hospital over here in london. he was an ambassador and fundraiser for them as well. so pele did so much good, clearly on the pitch, the athlete of the century as voted by the ioc but also what he did off the pitch. we talked about the goals, you left off the list of that

extraordinary dummy, the feint around the goalkeeper. it wasn't a goal, but it was one of the great footballing moments. he produced so many great footballing moments, didn't he? the crazy thing about pele as you think about 1,000 plus goals, but actually it was some of the greatest memories were what he didn't score, when gordon banks made that amazing save, the save of the century. somehow scooping over pele's downward header in 1970. as you mention, the run around the czechoslovakian goalkeeper as well. i think one of those also show, particularly as the relationship and friendship with gordon banks, the moment when he famously swapped shirts with the great bobby moore, the sportsmanship in a pele. he was not simply a competitor, an opponent, he was a friend

of bobby moore, a friend of gordon banks. new explain how so yo he became so good, it was a native, wasn't it? ht good, it was a native, wasn't it? ut was, 1970 was probably the greatest football team, international football team, international football team, international football team, the world has ever seen, the players in that team were just a joy. i get excited talking about the names, but he was the greatest player, he stood out in the team, he showed his skill, which he showed in sweden in 1958 as a 17—year—old juggling the ball. that sportsmanship, the game against wales when he accidentally fell over jack kelsey, the welsh goalkeeper on the floor, having made a save, and

pele turned around, apologise and helped him up. that genius with the ball, but the sportsmanship must be remembered. the ball, but the sportsmanship must be remembered-— ball, but the sportsmanship must be remembered. ., , ., , , ., remembered. the obvious question in terms of the — remembered. the obvious question in terms of the greatest? _ remembered. the obvious question in terms of the greatest? for— remembered. the obvious question in terms of the greatest? for me, - remembered. the obvious question in terms of the greatest? for me, he . remembered. the obvious question in terms of the greatest? for me, he is| terms of the greatest? for me, he is the greatest. — terms of the greatest? for me, he is the greatest, but _ terms of the greatest? for me, he is the greatest, but messi _ terms of the greatest? for me, he is the greatest, but messi showed, - the greatest, but messi showed, maradona as, one of the greatest. anyway, we should just celebrate these great sporting footballing geniuses have graced the game, our lives, and appreciate them all. i still personally would have pele as the number one because of those three world cups. the football journalist and author of brazil �*1970: how the greatest team of all time won the world cup' ,samindra kunti

in football. we knew it was coming, we were prepared, but a sad day. my assessment, he is the greatest player of all—time. i think it is hard to overestimate the scale of pele the athlete and the man. he was the first genuine global superstar of any description, even outside football or sport. a phenomenal rfid, but more, he was, he represented brazil. brazil was a relatively young country, looking to find its way, and i think that is where he comes in, he represented brazil and winning that third world cup in 1970, he also transcended the

edson arantes do nascimento was always prepared to become pele. that is what resort after his actual football career. at times you wonder where was edson arantes do nascimento, because it was pele, pele, pele, especially in public. to go back to your question, he was always prepared for it. tn go back to your question, he was always prepared for it.— go back to your question, he was always prepared for it. in terms of the football, _ always prepared for it. in terms of the football, those _ always prepared for it. in terms of the football, those three - always prepared for it. in terms of the football, those three world i the football, those three world cups. we saw in 1966 how he became targeted. how did he cope with it, to get to 1970 and for finally winning it?— to get to 1970 and for finally winnin: it? ~ . , . winning it? well, he was targeted in 1966, but i winning it? well, he was targeted in 1966, but | think — winning it? well, he was targeted in 1966, but | think you _ winning it? well, he was targeted in 1966, but i think you had _ winning it? well, he was targeted in 1966, but i think you had the - 1966, but i think you had the maturity to bounce back, and brazil lost at world cup and had to find a new direction. they did that with a

scientific preparation in 1969. that meant pele almost in the twilight of his career was in perfect physical shape and perfect physical fitness. and that world cup also demonstrated one of the qualities every grade—point house. he kind of a doubt that his style to mexico 1970, to the fact of being 30. he played with bursts of energy, he reserved his energy and struck at the right time. pele knew very well that 1970 world cup represented his last chance to win the world cup, to cement brazil's name as the football nation and to really enter the pantheon of the gods. as many of his team—mates told me, he was really dead set on winning that world cup.

as you know, brazil, pele, did it in such wonderful style in three delirious weeks in mexico, defeating italy 4—1 in that remarkable final. your description of him being careful, target and when he burst in games, that's not the similar web lionel messi in the world cup just gone. as we look at pictures of him in his prime, there were other great players in the brazil team. could that team have been as successful without pele? how successful would they have been? that without pele? how successful would they have been?— they have been? that is a lovely question. _ they have been? that is a lovely question. it _ they have been? that is a lovely question, it is _ they have been? that is a lovely question, it is a _ they have been? that is a lovely question, it is a question - they have been? that is a lovely question, it is a question i i they have been? that is a lovely| question, it is a question i asked his team—mates. perhaps we should listen to the words of the midfield maestro in that team, and he always believed brazil could have won that world cup without pele, and that's

not taking anything away from the great man. there is no doubt in the late 1950s, throughout the 1960s, and in 1970, brazil had so much talent, it was always hard for any talented player to make the starting 11 of brazil. 0f talented player to make the starting 11 of brazil. of course, pele was the cherry on the cake of the 1970 team. it is important to point out that brazil 1970 is considered to be pele's primer, but perhaps that is untrue. as his team—mates points out, pele was perhaps in his prime in the early 1960s when he won the intercontinental cup twice with santos, when they were the best team in the world, then won the 1958

world cup, defended it four years later. that was when he was physically in his prime, but the world didn't get to see it because tv was not around. english fashion designer dame vivienne westwood has died at the age of 81. she was largely responsible for bringing modern punk and new wave fashions into the mainstream. a representative said, dame vivienne westwood died peacefully surrounded by her family in clapham, south london, today, her representatives said in a statement. the 81—year—old's husband and creative partner andreas kronthaler said: "i will continue with vivienne in my heart.

place on monday, and his funeral is due to be held on tuesday. you are watching bbc news. hello there. it's looking like the last few days of 2022 will be rather unsettled for most of us. low pressure, always nearby, so we'll see some pretty heavy rainfall, some strong winds and also a bit of snow over the high ground of scotland, and we see some cold air engage in at times. now, this first area of low pressure moving through on friday will bring some heavy rain, strong winds and be followed by more weatherfronts and rain rippling in from the southwest as we head into the new year weekend. some areas seeing quite a lot of rainfall over the next few days. southern, northern, western areas, particularly southwest scotland, northwest england could be very wet over the next few days. and we even have an amber rain warning in force across south—southwest scotland for friday, risk of some localised flooding and travel disruption here.

and that rain really will be piling into many northern and western areas as we move through this evening. certainly overnight, it'll be very heavy and persistent across southern scotland. that rain turning to snow over the mountains of scotland as we engage some colder air here. further south and east that you are, tending to stay dry really until we push into friday morning and temperatures recovering in the south, but it will be a windy, cold morning, very cloudy, very wet. some heavy rain across scotland, northern england pushing its way quite quickly into the north sea, and then it brightens up into the afternoon, a few blustery showers, southern and western areas, more persistent rain, some snow in the hills across northern scotland, but a good deal of sunshine around. but it will be a windy day for all. mild in the south, we're up to 11 to 13 degrees. that is above the seasonal norm, closer to the seasonal norm or even below across scotland. so for new year's eve, saturday, more weather fronts pushing in from the south west. it could be quite wet to start with across all areas. again, a wintry element to the rain across scotland, notjust the even over the hills, even down to lower levels as well.

more rain pushing into england or wales later in the day and it will be windy and very mild. 11i—15 celsius to end december 2022, something colder in the north. as we push closer to new year's eve midnight, it looks like there will be a dry slot of weather central, northern and eastern areas. but stay tuned to the forecast for the details for that a bit closer to the time. as we push into new year's day, the 1st of january, there will be rain across the far south east, some showery rain in the north. again, a bit of a wintry element to that. colder in the north, but staying on the mild side for england and wales. see you later.
