The GOAT is gone. Pelé died Thursday at 82 in his native Brazil.
But not before becoming the finest soccer player who ever lived, and arguably the greatest athlete in history. And one who left a lasting impact not just on world sport, but onPelé managed staggering feats like winning three World Cup titles, scoring more than 600 goals for his club team, Santos, and helping to stop a Nigerian civil war with his mere presence.
The NASL club made Pelé the highest-paid athlete in the world , but it was well worth every penny. Forget the goals or assists, or the striker hoisting the 1976 NASL MVP or carrying them to the 1977 Soccer Bowl title. He lifted the Cosmos to worldwide fame.The Cosmos played before sparse crowds on Randall’s Island the year before Pelé arrived, moving to Yankee Stadium for the 1976 season and the new Giants Stadium in 1977 — often drawing near capacity crowds.
