Pelé’s popularity as the best player in the world, and that too as the best player of all time, had transcended borders and spread throughout the world. For all football-loving countries on earth, Pelé is a God-like figure. The President of America may be the most powerful man in the world, but Pelé also got recognition throughout the world. He is the only player in the history of football to score more than 1000 goals.

Pelé’s original name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. The world doesn’t know him by such a long and complex name. He only uses this name to sign legal documents. He played his last match for Brazil in 1971. However, even after that, he remained a popular player and the nation’s pride.

Pelé retired from the sport in the mid-1970s when he felt his pace has slowed down. At the time of retirement, Pelé had scored 1283 goals. Pelé died at the age of eighty-two on December 29, 2022, after suffering from colon cancer and kidney problems for a year.
