Edson Arantes do Nascimento, or Pele, known as Pele, arrived in Brazil on October 23, 1940.
At the age of 11, Pele started to play in Santos FC after 4 years, when football ability was discovered until shoe-polish-rinse. Discovering him, De Brito told Santos executives, "This kid will be one of the best footballers in the world one day," he said, releasing the reference club Pele to his first professional match in 1956.
In Santos FC, the legendary goal scorer from 1956 to 1974 has scored 619 goals in 638 matches.
After transferring from here, 1975-1977, he found 31 goals in 56 matches, which appeared on the New York Cosmos team.
Having worn the Brazil National Team form for the first time in 1957, Pele has reached 92 matches in 1971, leaving the National Team, and has ventured 77 times against rival networks.
Pele is the most soccer king in the world football history. At the same time, finishing his career in football, he also had the title "King of goals scoring most goals".
He won the World Cup three times with Brazil.
A total of 1281 goals scored throughout the career, making it a tough record.
Pele has scored 5 goals in a game 6 times in his career, scored 4 goals in 30 times, and also made a hat-trick in 92 games.
The most interesting event is that a two-day ceasefire was declared in order to watch Pelé's match in the battle of Nigeria and Biafra.
In another incident, after a throw-out of Pelé's game in a game played in the Brazilian league, the fans disobeyed and left the referee in a difficult situation. Pelé then returned to the game after 15 minutes.
The most striking thing about this case is that no punishment has been applied to the referee and even the judge has received general appreciation at the end of the match.
Pele is the first person to receive the FIFA Ballon d'Or Prix d'Honneur prize.
