Brazil great Pele has paid a warm tribute to his captain and teammate Carlos Alberto, who died of a heart attack at the age of 72 in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday.
Pele's reputation as the greatest footballer of all time owes much to some defining performances in his and Brazil's third World Cup triumph at Mexico 1970, where the team was captained by Carlos Alberto.
Widely regarded as one of the finest right backs to play the game, the skipper sealed a 4-1 final win over Italy at Estadio Azteca with a thunderous finish on the end of a deft Pele pass before lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy.
