In 2000, when chosen by FIFA as the footballer of the century, Pele said: “Forty-two years ago, when I was just seventeen years old, the world chose me as king. (When Brazil won the World Cup in 1958) From then till now everyone calls me the same. He died at the age of 82 due to colon cancer.
Most of this generation have never seen much of Pele. This is because there is very little video footage of Pele on the field. Maradona, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar and Mbappe have conquered the fans, but there are many reasons behind why the name Pele remains. Many of Pele’s records, which he unequivocally declared to be unmatched by anyone who came after him, remain unbeaten to this day. Here are some of them for late game watchers..!
The one and only Pele
∙ Pele is the heir to 3 football world cup titles. Pele is the only player in the history of the World Cup to win the title 3 times. Pele was a member of the Brazil team that won the 1958 (Sweden), 1962 (Chile) and 1970 (Mexico) tournaments.
∙ Pele’s 757 goals from 812 official matches played for Brazil and clubs was a record until recently. After decades, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo surpassed this feat only recently.
According to the Brazilian Football Association, Pele has scored 1283 goals in 1367 official and unofficial matches. According to FIFA, he scored 1281 goals in 1366 games.
The jersey will not be given to anyone!
After Pele’s death, his club Santos faded. The club was relegated to Brazil’s second division league for the first time in its 111-year history. Club president Marcelo Tixeria then made an announcement. Without the club being promoted to the Brazilian first division league, Santos’ number 10 jersey, made famous by Pele, will no longer be given to any player.
