From his world-record number of hat tricks,to taking home three World Cups,to being named the 'Athlete of the Century',Pele is arguably the greatest footballer to ever grace the field. Adapted from 'Pele',his bestselling autobiography,this abridged illustrated edition takes you inside the life of Edson Arantes Do Nascimento,known to the world as Pele.The athlete's own words are paired with more than 75 rare and notable photographs from his career and private life,forming a portrait of his journey from boyhood,playing with a fooball made of socks,to scoring his 1,000th goal on the international stage.Also featuring reproductions of memorabilia from many of Pele's greatest moments as a player,including his youth football ID card,a programme from his last game representing Brazil,a Cosmos pennant,and numerous photographs of awe-inspiring moments from all four of his World Cups,this handsome book is a cherished addition to any Pele fan's collection.
