there's trinkets coming in. not just from sports figures also from political figures like lula hell. he meant so much more than just football, didn't he? yeah, absolutely like, you know, he was an ambassador for football and who so for brazil, you know, the most famous brazilian of old time. right. you know, he had this kind of a complicated history with politics. right. you know, people often compared him to mom mohammed ali and said, you know, why did mohammed ali, you know, you know what appellate not take the same stance on politics. as mohammed ali didn't, you know, that's because brazil was in the midst of a military dictatorship at the time. right. so it's, but he got a taste for politics in later life. you know, he was, can he campaigned for direct elections to progress from military to civilian rule. you know, there's a picture doing the rounds of being wearing a job like, you know, free elections. now t shirts as doing the rounds of social media at the moment. 2 2 and then yeah, he was a sports minister under the government of and then i don't recall those are one of

which is something that we used to nowadays in an age of egos and individuals and superstars all around the world. but pele really was the trailblazer and the pioneer in that regard. he really was the 1st to through global footballing icon in the world, the world record for the most career goals of school by any player. and of course also $13.00 world cups. that achievement, i think, is particularly one this unlikely ever to be to be repeated. but his footballing career. my is footballing profile was about so much more than just numbers. it was about his ability to captivate an audience to really capture the imagination of fans to do things with all the others. wouldn't have attempted, let alone managed to do it safe to say that's how he will be remembered now. certainly, i think so. yeah, and i mean, anybody with a passing interest in football is able to conjure images,

appellate playing the game. anybody, regardless of their affinity with football, knows who he is. his impact goes so far beyond just the borders of football and just of sport. really. he was a global kind of icon of the 20th century. he was on time magazines, 100, most important people of the 20th century on that list, alongside people like shake of our and mother teresa. so we're not talking just about a sporting figure, but really a cultural and historical right. and how has the football world been reacting to his death so far? well, we've had, as, as how he mentioned their reaction, name or name. ah said the pele, changed everything before pele football was just a sport. he turned football into and he gave voice to the poor to the blacks and visibility to brazil, christiane. over now, there has also reacted and called pele and inspiration for so many millions of reference of yesterday today of always rest in peace, king pele,
