YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The Brazilian star transcended the sport and is the only player to win three World Cups. FIFA named him its athlete of the 20th century.

He was born as Edson Arantes do Nascimento on Oct. 23, 1940, but came to be known by a single word recognized around the world — Pelé.

Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, winner of a record three World Cups, died Thursday at the age of 82 at Albert Einstein hospital in Sao Paulo, where he had been since the end of November.
