 The word 'legend' is overused in sport nowadays.
In Pele's case, though, it is a vast understatement.
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."

Pele was the best. I would pause what I was doing to watch footage of any match he played in. Remember watching 'Pele - Birth of a Legend' on a flight somewhere not too long ago - great film about him!   
I identify as a Sword because I have abstract social constructs e.g. honour and patriotism. My preferred pronouns are "kill/ maim/ dismember"

Quite handy with weapons - available for hire to defeat money laundering crooks around the world.
