Legendary England striker Gary Lineker commented on the news of Pele's death.
Pele is dead. The most divine of football players and the most joyful of men. He played in such a way that only a select few approached his level.
He lifted the most coveted golden trophy three times in his wonderful yellow T-shirt. He may have left us, but he will always have football immortality. Rest in peace, Pele,” Linekerna wrote on his Twitter page.
