The sports world mourns the passing of Brazilian legend Pelé, who passed away at the age of 82. Our pundits remember the illustrious career of football's beloved icon, real name Edson Arantes do Nascimento, especially Bob Holmes who saw Pelé grace the pitch in England many years ago.

Elsewhere, the English Premier League returns to action; barely eight days after the conclusion of the World Cup in Qatar. We review all ten matches that resumed since Boxing Day, with Man City's convincing win over Leeds United concluding Matchday 17.

Back in the region, we also look ahead to the AFF Championship's crunch match, as Malaysia take on Singapore at the Bukit Jalil National Stadium on the 3rd of January. All these and more, only on Just For Kicks!
