The man. The legend. The autobiography. Even people who don't know
soccer know Pelé, the universally acknowledged best player of all
time. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, "Pelé" was the youngest
player to score a goal in and win the world cup at age seventeen,
the only player to have won the World Cup three times, and is the
all-time goal scorer for Brazil. His international career helped
introduce soccer to Americans and he popularized describing the
sport as "the beautiful game." But how did this man become a global
icon? In Pelé The Autobiography, Pelé shares in his own words the
story of his incredible life and career. Told with his
characteristic charm and humility and covering all aspects of his
playing days and his subsequent careers as politician,
international sporting ambassador, and cultural icon, this book is
the essential volume for all sports fans, and anyone who admires
true rarity of spirit.
