Continuing our weekly video celebration of birthday celebrities, this week is the 70th birthday of the world famous Edison Edson Arantes do Nascimento. Never heard of him? Yeah you have. Because this man is none other than the Brazilian football superstar “Pelé”.
There’s no denying the fact that when it comes to kicking a football around a pitch, this man was pretty darn good at it. So, to say Happy Birthday to the King of Football in our own special way we’ve laid on a buffet of legendary Pelé moment s for you all to feast upon.
Pelé from the half-way line (Brazil v Cechoslovakia – 1970)
Solo goal (Brazil v Mexico – 1962)
Pelé’s dummy and miss (Brazil v Uruguay – 1970)
Pelé’s 1958 World Cup goal when just 17 (Brazil v Sweden – 1958)
