I couldn’t sleep so I started reading on Pele.
I heard about his legendary status,
but I did not know how this guy transformed the world with his playing.
Check this out:
“J.B.Pinheiro, the Brazilian ambassador to the UN was quoted as saying, “Pele played football for 22 years, and in that time he did more to promote world friendship and fraternity than any other ambassador anywhere”. And who could contradict him? In warring Nigeria a ceasefire was declared when Pele came to play in Lagos in 1970. The President of Brazil declared him a “national treasure” to thwart any potential transfer to a European club.”

Pele scored 1281 goals in 1363 games.

The next World Cup is in Germany in 2006.
