Brazil 1970 Shirt - Signed by Pele
The world's greatest footballer - what other way is there to describe the Brazilian master, Pele? But who would have thought that Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, born to a poor family in Tres Coracos in 1940, would become the player against whom all others are measured?
Taught the game by his father, his prodigious talent was soon recognised and at the age of 11 he was taken to Sao Paulo by one of the country's leading players, Waldemar de Brito. Scoring on his debut at 16, he was soon drafted into the national team, with whom he went to the first of his four World Cups, at the age of just 17.
Speed, strength, balance, vision, heading, shooting - Pele was blessed with every possible footballing attribute. Statistics often tell only half the story, but 1,280 career goals, including 97 for Brazil, is a truly astounding tally and goes some way to demonstrating what a unique player he was.
Perhaps his finest moment came in 1970 when he inspired a Brazil team, widely considered the best ever assembled, to victory at the World Cup. Their dazzling play, with Pele at the heart of everything, was like nothing ever seen before and the opposition was simply blown away. The crowning glory came in the final when he scored Brazil's 100th World Cup goal.
