We bring you the very best of the tributes across the talkSPORT network to football icon Pele, who passed away at the age of 82 on Thursday. Several Premier League managers including Pep Guardiola, Antonio Conte and Mikel Arteta all pay tribute to the Brazilian who won three World Cups for his country. The former England defender Alan Mullery recalls his experiences of playing against him, including a story about nut-megging him whilst playing for Fulham against Santos, whilst legendary Football commentator Barry Davies discusses what it was like to see him play live at the 1970 World Cup. South American Football Expert Tim Vickery brings us the reaction from Brazil to Pele's passing, and the former England winger Dennis Tueart reflects on his influence on football in America after his spell with the New York Cosmos in the 1970s. Finally, Brazilian Football Journalist Marvio dos Anjos discusses what made Pele so special away from the pitch and Author Alex Bellos tells us who were Pele's biggest influences in his life.
