Description
A bestseller in both the UK and the USA on its first publication, this book was the first fully authorised life of the world's greatest living footballer. With exclusive access to Pelé, award-winning sports writer Harry Harris charts his meteoric rise from humble beginnings in Brazil to his first international match at the age of sixteen.
Superb athleticism, speed of thought and execution, and astonishing ball control helped him become the only player to have appeared in three World Cup-winning sides and to have scored more than 1,200 goals in his senior career, a feat that is now unlikely ever to be equalled, let alone surpassed.
Pelé remains the best footballer of all time, despite the extraordinary exploits of Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar, and legends such as Diego Maradona and Johan Cruyff. Now revised and updated to bring the story completely up to date, Pelé: His Life and Times - Revised & Updated is a tribute to a world-class sporting hero, a great sportsman and, to this day, an inspiration to millions.
