Pele DEATH: Legendary Footbballer’s Last Request To Tom Brady Was Unfulfilled After His 'Un-retirement' And Divorce From Gisele Bundchen
The footballing legend Pele aka ‘The Black Pearl’ passed away after a long battle with cancer has left the world in shock. The 82-year-old footballer was much loved across the world even by those who don't follow football.

Well, it isn’t surprising that he had great relations with many other sporting legends, including Tom Brady, the NFL quarterback who is now playing with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Pele and Brady had mutual respect for each other! The former has even posted a heartfelt message for the quarterback on Instagram following the announcement of his retirement. 


In fact, one of Pele's last wishes was a hug from Brady and his now ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bundchen, which went unrealized.

Pele in his wish expressed that Brady stop by more frequently to visit after he retired and to get a hug from the former married couple. In his post, Pele had captioned, “My friend @tombrady, congratulations on your beautiful journey. You are a legend. As of today, an era in sport also ends. The decision to stop is difficult, but you are right. In this life we lead, there is no possibility of surrendering less than 100%. Before, I was rooting for your victory in the games. Now I keep hoping that your life will always be full of achievements. Now that you will have more time, when you stop by, I expect a hug from you and @gisele.” 

Unfortunately, Pele’s wish was left unfulfilled as Brady 'un-retired' to come back to the sport, and this was followed by Bundchen announcing that they were getting divorced a few days later.

As per the reports, Bundchen and Brady had both met Pele in the flesh and had also been on the receiving end of a lot of great wishes from the footballer. 

Right before Brady had played the final for his tenth Super Bowl title, Pele had wished the quarterback, saying, “Tom, good luck in your tenth Super Bowl. Ten is my lucky number. Boa sorte, meu amigo!”
