Edson Arantes do Nascimento (Pele) is a legend and quite rightly so. I watched the Netflix movie about him and he explained his struggles, disappointment and successes. He sounded like an ordinary man but his success showed he wasn't an ordinary man, he was a God in Brazil and to the footballing world. Edson Arantes do Nascimento is a legend of football and his kind would take a long while to find due to what he did for Brazil, what he means to them. He is a national treasure and a living legend. That's what football should be about; giving hope in the midst of hopelessness and he did that to perfection. He played his first World Cup at the age of 17 and at that young age, he carried the hope and dream of a whole country on his shoulders and thrived. What a legend.
