Brazil legend Pele reluctant to leave house because of ill health

Legendary Brazil forward Pele’s son says Pele is reluctant to leave his house because he cannot walk unaided.

The three-time World Cup winner, widely regarded as the greatest player of all time, was taken to hospital with a urinary infection last year.

79-year-old Pele, has had problems with his hip for some time and now needs a frame to walk, with many of his recent public appearances in a wheelchair.

Pele scored a world record total of 1,281 goals in 1,363 appearances during his 21-year career, including 77 goals in 91 appearances for Brazil.
