“I was born to play football, just like Beethoven was born to write music and Michelangelo was born to paint.”—Pelé
Global ambassador of soccer and other humanitarian causes, Pelé is considered as legend of greatest soccer player of all time.
His name Edson Arantes Do Nascimento was named after Thomas Edison and nicknamed "Dico". He was popular in school days as ‘Pele’ by his mates. In spite of growing in poverty, Pele developed a rudimentary talent for soccer by kicking a rolled-up sock stuffed with rags.
