A legend was born in a Brazilian slum. About the year 1940. Black Daymon came to the world on October 23, lighting up the world of football. Surely you understand who I am talking about. Yes who was born in a slum and became a sports legend. He is the 'King of Football' Pele. Today is his birthday.
In the absence of clothing, he walked barefoot from field to field. He conquered the world with this foot. In the fifties to the seventies, this superstar spread fascination all over the world.
He won the hearts of the whole world with his show-stopping performance. Nakshatra Black Daymon is also regarded as the 'King of Football' by generations. In a poverty-stricken area of Sao Paulo, he became a fairy-tale character playing barefoot in socks and playing with paper footballs.
Pele came from extreme poverty. He did not have good food or a little money for expenses. However, the extreme addiction of football surrounded him. In other words, he couldn't even buy a ball for practice. So he wrapped old socks with newspaper and used them as footballs.
The name 'Pele' was not actually given to him by his parents. This name has become popular because of the joke about him. How it became a nickname, the football king himself did not know. Even in his autobiography he could not tell any meaning of the name 'Pele'.
However, the explanation is known, the goalkeeper of the Brazilian football club Vasco da Gama was 'Bill'. But the king of football could never pronounce this name. From his mouth it sounded like 'pale'. So the school friends call him Pele. This name eventually became his nickname.
Valdimar de Bratore of Santos club caught the attention of Pele with his great play. While introducing him to the team president, Brato said, "This boy will be the greatest player in the world."
Miraculously, the statement proved true. Pele joined Santos in 1956 at the age of 15. He spent almost two decades of his life in this club.
Pele made his debut in the national team at the age of 16. He played the first match against Argentina. Brazil lost that match 2-1. If you get a goal in the debut match. He got the taste of winning the World Cup at the age of 17. Sweden scored 5 goals in the 1958 World Cup.
Pele is the highest goalscorer for Brazil so far. In 2007, FIFA awarded him the 62 World Cup finals medal.
Pele retired from club football in 1977. He dedicated his 1,000th goal to Brazilian slum children.
He also joined politics. He served as Brazil's Minister of Sports from 1995 to 1998. He died of cancer on December 29, 2022, leaving billions of football fans around the world crying.
