Perhaps no other person in the rich and colorful history of world football is as revered and universally
loved as Pele.
Born in 1940, Pele like so many
other Brazilians, grew up poor.
Pele’s father was a professional
soccer player, and quite a good
one at that. However, a tragic
leg injury shortened his career.
John Eilermann.
Pele picked up where his father
left off by showing skill and
talent at an exceptionally young
age. His father, although
injured, still took the time to
train the young Pele. Because
of a severe lack of funds, Pele
used a grapefruit as a ball and
a sock filled with newspaper as
footwear during practice. John
Eilermann.
However, Pele would not let
poverty get in his way. He
continued to practice, and he
performed magically in local
minor leagues as a forward.
Pele’s coach, Waldemar de Brito,
who was a famous player of
Brazil, brought the youngster to
the professional club Santos FC
when he was 15 years old. John
Eilermann.
Two years later, at only 17, Pele
would be instrumental in leading
Brazil to capturing the World
Cup.
Pele would go on to weave his
magic on football pitches everywhere in the world. To put things in perspective, and to perfectly
encapsulate what Pele meant to football and the world, two countries at war even held a ceasefire
because Pele was playing a game in the region. John Eilermann.
