Opposing fans taunted Pele with monkey chants at home and all over the world. “He said that he would never play if he had to stop every time he heard those chants, ” said Angelica Basthi, one of Pele’s biographers. “He is key for Black people’s pride in Brazil, but never wanted to be a flagbearer. ”Pele’s life after soccer took many forms. He was a politician — Brazil’s Extraordinary Minister for Sport — a wealthy businessman, and an ambassador for UNESCO and the United Nations. He had roles in movies, soap operas and even composed songs and recorded CDs of popular Brazilian music.

The image of Pele in a bright, yellow Brazil jersey, with the No. 10 stamped on the back, remains alive with soccer fans everywhere. As does his trademark goal celebration — a leap with a right fist thrust high above his head.

In a game against England, he struck a header for a certain score, but the great goalkeeper Gordon Banks flipped the ball over the bar in an astonishing move. Pele likened the save – one of the best in World Cup history – to a “salmon climbing up a waterfall. ” Later, he scored the opening goal in the final against Italy, his last World Cup match. In all, Pele played 114 matches with Brazil, scoring a record 95 goals, including 77 in official matches. His run with Santos stretched over three decades until he went into semi-retirement after the 1972 season. Wealthy European clubs tried to sign him, but the Brazilian government intervened to keep him from being sold, declaring him a national treasure.
Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, in the small city of Tres Coracoes in the interior of Minas Gerais state on Oct. 23, 1940, Pele grew up shining shoes to buy his modest soccer gear. Pele’s talent drew attention when he was 11, and a local professional player brought him to Santos’ youth squads. It didn’t take long for him to make it to the senior squad. Despite his youth and 5-foot-8 frame, he scored against grown men with the same ease he displayed against friends back home. He debuted with the Brazilian club at 16 in 1956, and the club quickly gained worldwide recognition. The name Pele came from him mispronouncing the name of a player called Bile. He went to the 1958 World Cup as a reserve but became a key player for his country’s championship team.
When he visited Washington to help popularize the game in North America, it was the U. S. president who stuck out his hand first. “My name is Ronald Reagan, I’m the president of the United States of America, ” the host said to his visitor. “But you don’t need to introduce yourself because everyone knows who Pele is. ”[ VIDEO: Premier League highlights]Pele was Brazil’s first modern Black national hero but rarely spoke about racism in a country where the rich and powerful tend to hail from the white minority.

Leicester City: Before the World Cup break, it seemed like the Foxes were turning things around with three victories in which they didn't allow a single goal but a month can make a massive difference, especially with the return to action seeing the team not have Maddison or James Justin.
He orchestrated a fast, fluid style that revolutionized the sport – a samba-like flair that personified his country’s elegance on the field. He carried Brazil to soccer’s heights and became a global ambassador for his sport in a journey that began on the streets of Sao Paulo state, where he would kick a sock stuffed with newspapers or rags. [ MORE: How to watch Premier League in USA] In the conversation about soccer’s greatest players, only the late Diego Maradona, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are mentioned alongside Pele. Different sources, counting different sets of games, list Pele’s goal totals anywhere between 650 (league matches) and 1, 281 (all senior matches, some against low-level competition.
His first goal, in which he flicked the ball over the head of a defender and raced around him to volley it home, was voted as one of the best in World Cup history. The 1966 World Cup in England — won by the hosts — was a bitter one for Pele, by then already considered the world’s top player. Brazil was knocked out in the group stage and Pele, angry at the rough treatment, swore it was his last World Cup. He changed his mind and was rejuvenated in the 1970 World Cup.
