On a visit to the Pele Museum in Brazil's seaside city of Santos, Sergio Murillo Junior says he's sad to see the football legend's health deteriorate, but adds "I am proud of the legacy he left us." (Update: Pelé sadly passed away at the age of 82 on Dec 29.)

For the 53-year-old lawyer, Pele is above all "an example of perseverance and resilience, for all generations."
