Certainly, one day we'll kick a ball together in the sky above: Pele

Retired Brazilian soccer star Pelé mourned the death of Argentine great Diego Maradona on Wednesday, following confirmation he had died of a heart attack earlier in the day.

"Sad news to lose a friend like that. May God give enough strength to his family. For sure, one day we will kick a ball together in heaven." he said in a brief statement provided to Reuters by a representative.
