    The Text

    1 Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born in 1940 in the small Brazilian town of Tres
    Curacoes. Young Edson was like many Brazilian boys and he could kick a football almost before
    he could walk. He grew up spending hours playing football in the street with his friends.
    4 It was when he was playing for the local youth teams that people noticed that there was
    something very special about young Edson. At 16 the first division club Santos took him as a
    professional and young Edson’s incredible career had begun.
    7 As a professional he became known as Pele and the name Pele was soon famous
    throughout the world. When he was seventeen he played for the Brazilian national team to win
    the World Cup in Sweden, in 1958. In 1961, he scored probably the most spectacular goal ever,
    when he beat the entire opposition team before scoring.
    11 In 1962 World Cup in Chile he was injured after two games, but Brazil won again. In
    1966 he had to leave the World Cup in England early because he was injured. But he went on
    to play for a superb Brazil side in Mexico in 1970, to win the World Cup for a third time. In
    1974 he retired, but came back the next year to play for the New York Cosmos for a record of
    $7,000,000.
    16 During his career Pele scored 1,217 goals in 1,254 games, an incredible achievement.
    He became a hero not only in Brazil, but all over the world. In 1980 he was voted the Athlete of
    the Century. It is difficult to be better than that.
