Former West Ham United forward Sir Geoff Hurst played a crucial role as England won the FIFA World Cup in 1966 and in his tribute, he called Pele the best player he ever played against.
I have so many memories of Pele, without doubt the best footballer I ever played against (with Bobby Moore being the best footballer I ever played alongside). For me Pele remains the greatest of all time and I was proud to be on the the pitch with him. RIP Pele and thank you. pic.twitter.com/oCpQlw7EIK
