However, very few are universally revered as all-time greats. Edson Arantes do Nascimento, more commonly known as Pelé, is one of them. The legendary Brazilian enjoyed a remarkable career that spanned more than two decades and saw him claim soccer’s grandest prize on three separate occasions. Pelé refined his skills with Bauru before signing with the Brazilian giants Santos FC in 1956. He spent the majority of his professional club career at Santos. Adapting swiftly to top-tier Brazilian soccer, Pelé quickly secured a place in the Brazil national team. In 1958, Pelé became an instrumental part of the Brazil team that won the country’s first-ever World Cup.
