Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
Honorary KBE, (born October 23, 1940), nicknamed Pelé (also written as Pele) (IPA Brazil), is a former Brazilian football player who won three World Cup medals and broke many records, also known as O Rei (The King). He is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time and was asked by FIFA to compile the list of the world's top 100 living footballers in 2004.
Often considered the complete midfield and attacking player, he was a prolific and clinical finisher and exceptional at dribbling and passing. Famed for his pace and strong shot, and exceptional heading ability for a relatively short man, he scored 1,281 goals in all matches during his career. Since his full retirement in 1977, he has served as an ambassador for the sport.
