On 23 October 1940, Pelé was born in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil, the son of Fluminense footballer’Dondinho’ (born João Ramos do Nascimento) and Dona Celeste Arantes. He did not receive the nickname Pelé’ until his school days, when it is claimed he was given it because of his pronunciation of the name of his favorite player, local Vasco da Gama goalkeeper Bilé. Pelé grew up in modest conditions in Bauru, São Paulo. Taught to play by his father, he could not afford a proper football and usually played with either a sock stuffed with newspaper, tied with a string or a grapefruit. Pelé played for several amateur teams in his youth, leading and led the Bauru Athletic Club juniors to three consecutive São Paulo state youth championships between 1954 and 1956. Pelé began playing for Santos at 15. Ten months after signing professionally, the teenager was called up to the Brazil national team, at just 16. His first international match was a 2-1 victory against Argentina on 7 July 1957 at the Maracanã. In that match, he scored his first goal for Brazil, aged only 16 years and 9 months. Pelé won three FIFA World CupsTM, 1958, 1962 and 1970, the only player ever to do so, and is the all-time leading goal scorer for Brazil. On 19 June 1958 Pelé became the youngest player to play in a World CupTM final match at 17 years and 249 days. He scored two goals in the final as Brazil beat Sweden 5-2. His first goal, a lob over a defender followed by a precise volley shot, was selected as one of the best goals in the history of the World CupTM, it was in the 1958 World CupTM that Pelé began wearing a jersey with number 10 that immortalized him. He is also the all-time top scorer for Santos and led them to the 1962 and 1963 Copa Libertadores. After the World CupTM in 1962, wealthy European clubs such as Real Madrid, Juventus and Manchester United tried to sign the young player, but the government of Brazil declared Pelé an’official national treasure’ to prevent him from being of transferred out the country. Pelé’s electrifying play and penchant for spectacular goals made him a star around the world where he toured several times with his team Santos. In 1967, the two factions involved in the Nigerian Civil War agreed to a 48-hour ceasefire so they could watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos In 1974. After his final career match on October 1, 1977 in front of more than 75,000 fans, Pelé shouted, Love! And urged his audience to pay attention to the youth of the world.
