If he passes away, it will be a disaster for Brazilians.....

He is one of the last few good icons that the Brazilian people still have.....

I had the privilege to see him playing and I once had an autograph of him that his daughter managed to ask him on my behalf !

His personal integrity and good example for the children can be well described in the following incident: a long time ago, in the '80's if I recall correctly, one big smoking company of Brazil wanted to hire him to make ads for their cigarettes. They offered him a very nice sum of money. He decline and explained himself that he was a sportsman and he would never sell to the public harmful products and especially, because he didn't want the children to start on this bad behavior.....

SAD TO SEE HIM LIKE THIS !

SAD !

I have two personal memories from Pele :

a) Once we met in one year end dinner and we asked his daughter for his autograph. They both were very nice and promptly did for me !

b) I saw him, on TV, playing in Brazil.... It was beautiful to see someone that talented playing.... It makes you wish you had the same talent....

I sincerely thought that the diplomatic relations between Japan and Israel were better than that !
