    Breaking news on SSN. Sad passing of a truly world class player.

    Very true

    Big, powerful, equally strong with either foot and extremely skilful.

    The mind boggles at the adulation & riches the likes of Pele & Eusebio would receive in the modern age.

    Very sad.

    As someone who was drawn to football by watching the '66 World Cup, I will always remember his performance, particularly his goal against Brazil.

    He was on the coaching staff at Santos when we played them at Oakwell pre-season before our Premiership debut. He was recognised and got a good round of applause. Always one of my favourite players, and a real gentleman. RIP, old lad.

    The star player of 1966. Great finisher. Can't think of anyone who hit the ball harder. His penalty kicks were awesome
