Considered as one of the greatest players of all time, Brazilian striker Pele holds the Guinness World record for most goals scored, with a total of 1,283 goals in 1,363 matches. Raised in poverty in the state of Sao Paulo, Pele was taught to play football by his father - as they could not afford a ball they played with a grapefruit or a sock stuffed with newspaper. This book tells the incredible story of how Edson Arantes do Nascimento, nicknamed Pele, grew up to become the greatest player of the 20th century.
