The king of football... that's what Brazilians called him.

They're observing three days of mourning after Pele died on Thursday following a long battle with cancer.

The 82 year old played a crucial role as football rose to become the most popular sport on the planet.

Pele played in four World Cups and was the only player in history to win three.

But his legacy stretched far beyond his haul of trophies and record of remarkable goal-scoring.

As football is the most popular sport in the world, how will he be remembered?
