ItemImageEdison Arantes do Nascimento, (born October 23, 1940 in Três Corações, Brazil), best known by his nickname Pelé, is a former Brazilian football player, rated by many as the greatest footballer of all time. He was given the title of Athlete of the Century by the International Olympic Committee and jointly received FIFA Player of the Century chosen by officials at the organisation, shared with Diego Maradona who won the people's vote. In his native Brazil, Pelé is hailed as a national hero. He is known for his accomplishments and contribution to the game, in addition to being officially declared the football ambassador of the world by FIFA and a national treasure by the Brazilian government. He is also acknowledged for his vocal support of policies to improve the social conditions of the poor (when he scored his 1,000th goal he dedicated it to the poor children of Brazil). During his career, he became known as "The King of Football" (O Rei do Futebol), "The King Pelé" (O Rei Pelé) or simply "The King" (O Rei). He is also a member of the American National Soccer Hall of Fame.

More stars are needed to rate Pele. He was the best player and the games best ambassador. I was introduced to him at Fenway Park when Santos played against the Boston Beacons in the late 60's.My coach, who had played against him in international matches, introduced us to each other. We had a short, pleasant chat and he gave me some pointers on the nuances of the game. Four years later, we met again and he remembered my name, where I was from, and many small details that had slipped my mind. It was amazing. I even forgive him for making that crappy movie with Stallone.

Simply the best. More titles and more goals than any other player. The king of football....the athlete of the century. How do you spell Pele? G-O-D.

Pele is very good. But if he were to play nowadays the style and pace of the game might have made it hard.

Im not a soccer fan and when Pele was playing, it wasn't a sport you saw much on tv like now...but he was the best in the game and will remain one of the best all time.

I honestly don't know much about Pele, but considering that he is one of maybe three or four professional soccer players that the average American could name, I think that alone probably means that he deserves the five star rating.

I don't know if Pele is really as great as most people seem to think. There are better, lesser known footballers that deserve the recognition bestowed on Pele.

Pele was a very good player that was a class above everyone! But I feel his contribution to FOOTBALL off field is greater than when he was on field!! Great ambassador for football should be president of FIFA!

Yes,Pele is the greatest.You can never be great unless you have won the greatest prize of all and that is the world cup.Pele has three,1958 as a 17 year old,1962 and the sensational 1970 when the Brazilians demolished Italy 4-1.None of the greats have anything close to that.

I had the priviledge to meet Pele in New York. There is this aura around this man. Pele is a living legend. No one can dare touch his record and accomplishment. Pele will live forever. I have Pele's autograph and I took a picture with him. I am elated !!!

Truly gifted- an exceptional player widely regarded as the best ever. What makes him an ever better player is when you hear of how close this genius actually came to never playing football which sounds unthinkable.Pele was born to a father whose own playing career barely earned a living and a mother who tried to discourage her son from following the same path in life. Pele, however says he was born for soccer just as Beethoven was born for music and as a child he would juggle melons and soft drink cans whenever deprived of a ball. In his whole career he was never sent off while playing abroad and he became the youngest ever World Cup Winner at only 17 . As he matured , his tempestuous streak was quelled and his football took over. He played over an astonishing 1000 games and averaged a goal a game! With the experience of 4 World Cup's behind him, he has became the world's leading ambassador, promoting his beautiful game around the world , expecially amongst the poor and underprivileged from whose ranks he emerged.
