RIP Pele: What Made Him Great? A Look Back At Soccer Legend's Life
RIP Pele: What Made Him Great? A Look Back At Soccer Legend's Life
Pele’s Accolades
Pele, arguably the greatest footballer of all time, was Brazil's all-time leading scorer, with 77 goals in 92 matches for his country.
His Career
The three-time World Cup winner embodied the idea of football as "the beautiful game", one played with skill, speed, and imagination.
Early Life
Pele was born into a poor family in Tres Coracoes in southern Brazil on 23 October 1940.
His father, Dondinho, was a minor league footballer, who taught his sons to play and his brother, Zoca, also played for Brazilian side Santos.
Early Career And The 1958 World Cup
Pele joined Santos at 15, and at the same age, he made his senior debut in 1956.
He won a place in the national team squad for the 1958 World Cup, held in Sweden and, at just 17, scored twice in the final as they beat the hosts 5-2.
