Crowds gathered outside the São Paulo hospital where he received treatment to eulogise the Brazilian great. 'Pelé, for us, was not just a Santos player. Pelé was a part of our life. It feels like losing a family member,' said fan Everton Lucio.

Supporters also gathered outside Brazil's national stadium, the Maracanã, which was illuminated gold in tribute to Pelé, to mourn the loss of the icon. 'The king of football, not just any player,' said Pelé lookalike Marcio Pereira da Silva.
