VIDEO: Pele’s thank you video to worried fans is very very cringe

74 year assures fans he's ok after a major health scare

It’s great that Péle is recovering after a serious illness but the guitar and the faked smiles makes this video more than a little bit creepy

Péle has released a video to let his supporters across the world knows that he’s doing well after a serious kidney problem.

SportsJOE is delighted to hear the news but are a bit horrified at the forced nature of the video as the football legend strums along rather tunelessly in the video and speaks a mix of Portuguese and English.

The 74 year-old has spent the last 11 days in hospital suffering from a serious kidney infection with fears that the he was close to death thankfully proving wide of the mark.

A simple thank you would have done but its still good to hear he’s doing well.

Next time though leave the guitar out of it maybe.
