He is widely regarded as the best football player of all time. In 1999, he was voted Football Player of the Century by the IFFHS International Federation of Football History and Statistics.

       Pele’s love for football began when he was a young child growing up in Bauru, Sao Paulo State, Brazil.

Additionally, Pele and his friends helped finance their Bauru youth team by selling roasted peanuts.
