The boy from Minas Gerais...who became the world's greatest-ever footballer. In a career spanning three decades, Pelé was the face of football worldwide. A hero of Brazil and an icon around the world, through sheer skill, grace and charisma, he was football's first modern superstar. Pelé made football look easy. He turned the sport he loved into a work of art, and the world stopped whenever the ball was at his feet. In his death, football has lost its King, and the world has lost a legend. But his presence will forever be felt, and his influence will always be seen, on and off the pitch. Without Pelé, there would be no Beautiful Game. He was... The King of the Game.
