There aren't many, if any, bigger sports stars than Edson Arantes do Nascimento and I doubt there ever will be. This guy set the football world alight as soon as he stepped onto the stage/pitch at the beginning of his career and continued to do so every time he did so. A true loss to the footballing world and will never be forgotten by any football fans who ever saw him play either live or on the telly.
RIP fella, I do actually have a tear in my eye tonight :(
