# Pelé

> Three World Cups before he turned thirty. The only player to pull that off, and he did it starting at seventeen - still the youngest to win one. 1,279 goals across 1,363 games, a Guinness record that doubles as the reason "The Beautiful Game" stuck.

## Bio

Edson Arantes do Nascimento joined Santos at fifteen and Brazil's national team at sixteen. The 1958 World Cup made him O Rei - The King - and he added titles in 1962 and 1970, a three-peat no one else has matched. At Santos he scored 643 goals in 659 games and led the club to back-to-back Copa Libertadores and Intercontinental Cups in 1962 and 1963. His skill turned him into the world's highest-paid athlete for a stretch, and his teams toured internationally just to let crowds see him play. He retired in 1977 with 77 goals in 92 games for Brazil, a national record that stood for over fifty years, and spent the rest of his life as football's global ambassador until his death on 29 December 2022.
