Pele is the most iconic footballer of the twentieth Century. He epitomized the flair, joy and passion the
Brazilians bought to the game. Peles career spanned throughout the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s.
In his early career, the young and unknown Pele helped inspire Brazil to victory in the 1958 World Cup.
In 1962, Brazil retained the World Cup. In 1966, Brazil was hot favorites, but, lost out to the home nation
England.
His crowing glory was the Brazilian victory in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. In this world cup, some of
the football played by Brazil and Pele was widely considered to the greatest in the history of the game.
Brazil won the final 4-1 against Italy; it was a genuine advertisement for the beautiful game and a fitting
pinnacle of Peles international career.
Pele finished his career in the lucrative US league. In 1975, he signed for New York Cosmos and played
three seasons. He led the New York Cosmos to the US title in 1977 the year of his retirement.
After retiring, he has gone onto be a great ambassador for football and sport in general. In 1992, Pele was
appointed a UN ambassador for ecology and the environment. He was also appointed a UNESCO
goodwill ambassador. He is not only one of the most gifted footballers of his generation, but, also a mild
mannered man who used his fame and prestige for a positive effect.
