A record held by Pele was broken when Argentina legend Lionel Messi scored 644 goals for Spanish football club Barcelona.
Messi broke the record for most goals for one club. Pele scored 643 goals for Santos. There was also a history of stopping a civil war due to Pele. The incident happened while Santos was touring Nigeria. The war was suspended for 48 hours as a friendly match was played against Nigeria in Lagos. The match was tied at 2-2.
Pele scored both goals for Santos. The 1000th goal that Brazilians always remember was scored on November 19, 1969. History was born in the match between Santos and Vasco da Gama. The legendary star was just turning 30. After the defeat in the 1966 World Cup, Pele was in the position of no more. Pele did not play in some of the qualifying rounds in 1969. After changing his mind, he played in the match against Mexico and ensured Brazil’s World Cup qualification. A fight with Bobby Moore, a stunning shot from midfield against Czechoslovakia, and an antics to make the Uruguayan goalkeeper tremble are some of Pele’s “heroic deeds” in the 1970 World Cup. The image of Pele trying to head Rivelino’s cross to score in the final against Italy is also immortal. Brazil beat Italy 4-1 to win the World Cup.
