A legend has died.

Three-time World Cup winner is gone.

The game may never be the same.

The game's first superstar.

Paved the way for Messi.

Ronaldo too.

Inspiring to many.

Spanned across generations.

Darling of the small screen.

Similar to a Hollywood star.

A goal a game.

Showcased the beautiful game to the world.

A national hero of sorts in Brazil.

Only one name needed.

Rest in peace.

Your legacy will live on.

Gone but not forgotten.

Fly high.

Heaven is your field.

God and the angels are your audiences.

Rest easy and without pain.

Thank you for everything.
