Brazilian soccer (football) player. His real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. Perhaps the greatest player in the history of soccer, Pelé began playing at the age of 5 and joined the Santos team at 16. Playing inside left forward, he led his team to numerous championships and the Brazilian national team to world championships in 1958, 1962, and 1970. He held every scoring record in Brazil, and in international matches he scored an average of one goal per game. His playing style was marked by superb ball control and great tactical ability. In 1971 he retired from the Brazilian national team but continued to play with Santos. He retired (1974) from the Santos team and played in the United States with the New York Cosmos (1975–77). He scored 1,281 goals during his career. Pelé became Brazil's minister of sports in 1995, serving until 1998.

Pele dedicated his 1000th goal to the children of Brazil.\nHe scored from the penalty spot against Vasco da Gama, and immediately dedicated the goal to the poor children of Brazil.

Maradona was great but Pele has no equal. Pele led Brazil to a World Cup title when he was 17, that is amazing and will never be equalled. There may be other young players to play in the World Cup but to lead the team to a title is another thing altogether. Pele won three World Cups and Maradona only one.The only thing Maradona had over Pele was that he played in Europe for 12 years.

Right up there with the greats: Pele, Maradona, Zico, Platini, etc.\nHe lacks very little skills, and have most of them. Great vision, speed, power, shooting, passing, heading, sprinting, dribbling, etc.\nBut what really makes him great is his love for the game. He's always playing with a grin, and he is completely unafraid of trying new things, anytime, during any game.\nHe's a player who has achieved greatness more for his love and compassion for what he does and how he does it than for his semi-unmatchable ball skills.\nIt is a privilege to live during Ronaldinho's era, it is absolutely, watching history in the making, so enjoy him.

pele and maradona were both very skilled on the pitch but pele is a much better role model as he was very sensible as a person off the pitch.pele could also use both feet and didnt need a hand to win.

After Pele's retirement from Brazilian soccer on October\n2, 1974, he joined the New York Cosmos of the North American\nSoccer League, a contract worth 7,000,000 for three seasons.\nHe played his last match as a professional in a friendly on\nOctober 1, 1977 in front of a capacity crowd at Giant \nStadium against his old club Santos. Pele did appear in a few friendly matches for the New York Cosmos after he retired in 1977. Due to falling attendances, the Cosmos did\ntry to bring Pele out of retirement a second time, but he declined.

Geroge Hagi from team Romania.  This guy was AWESOME!  When the World Cup came to America in '94, he tore it up out there!  I went to a World Cup game and saw Romania play, and it was GREAT!  Chances are, those who say Pele, are saying him because that's the only soccer person they actually know.  I'm not saying Pele is bad at all....he's great.  I just think Hagi really played the sport in no other way than anyone else.

PELE top scorer 1281 goals, top WORLD CUP WINNER 3 times.\nMany. many, many championships with santos, Copa Libertadores (several) and Intercontinental Cups (several).\n\n2 \nMaradona WORLD CUP WINNER, UEFA Champions WINNER. \nExtremly famous for his jumping, dribbling and 1 on 1 ability against the keepers. He was so talented for using la rabona, (not the cocaine, la rabona is a way to hit the ball while you cross the hitting leg behind the support leg and then hit the ball at the same time). Too bad he was a DRUG ADDICT and that is the reason why I do not believe he was the greatest!!!. Drugs like cocaine that DIEGO ARMANDO MARADONA used, gave him the ability to see everybody else in slow motion, that is the reason why he was so fast and almost never was tackled down because he could resist constant kicks from the defenders, his balance was unbelieveable, totally out of this world for a man his height, only 5 feet 5 inches 1 meter 65 centimeters. \n\n3 \nRoberto Baggio UEFA Champions WINNER HypermegaUltra dribbling ability, fainting, middle and long distance shooting, free kicks and penalty kicks, middle height volleys, too. I never saw him lost on a 1 on 1 against the keeper during this career in the Calcio Italiano. This guy had it all. He was a mini version PELE. \nToo bad he never won a WORLD CUP because he played with an injured leg the final match of the WORLD CUP of USA in 1994.\n\n4 \nJohann Cruyff 2 WORLD CUP SUBCHAMPION \nI have nothing much to say about this demigod of soccer. No WORLD CUPs but the best in his position during the 70s. Not even the brazilian Zico was as good as this guy.\nWith Ajax he was at this top game, and then the injuries never left him alone. Too bad Johann, you were a diabolo.\n\n5 \nMichelle Platini what to say about this master of the ball.\nIntercontinental Cups, Squdettos with La Juve (Squdetto means Local League Championship Winner)\n\n6 \nRonaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excessively ball controller, so good so effective, he is almost unstoppable. Too bad he got injured in the top of this game. Now he is fat, kind of slow and can not take on defenders as well as he used to. \n7 \nRonaldinho WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) haha, splinter the rat from TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES is the brother of this BOY. The fastest dribbler nowadays. He can create a scoring play from nowhere. He will win another WORLD CUP, you all will see.\n\n7 Rivaldo WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) excellent striking ability as well as bicycle kick ability. Dribbling talent, no doubt about it. Curling the ball was his special trick, he would put excessive power as well as curl in his shots, which made them extremelly difficult for the goalkeepers to retain, as a prove of that just watch his shot against OLIVER KAHN (germany's goal keeper in the final match of KOREA JAPAN 2002) it created the first goal for the Brazilians.\n\n8 \nRomario over 900 goals scored WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time)\nextreme accuracy and usage of the outside part of his right boot, he could score goals crossing the ball in the keepers area from side to side at ground level.\n\n9 \nHugo Sanchez over 400 goals scored Ultra aerial game !! This guy was a F1 airplane (the soccer ball were his missiles)scissors kicks, bicycle kicks, dive heading, over heading, besides of his great accuracy for free kick shoots, dribbling.\n\n10 \nFranz Beckenbauer, DAS KAISER, WORLD CUP WINNER (1 time) the best German player ever, over Matthaus, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Sammer and many other German mann (not bad spelled this is the way Germans use plurar for man in Germany).\n\n11 and on ? I'll let this one at your choice, Puskas, Alfredo Di Stefano, David Beckham, Luis Figo, Ryan Giggs, Manuel Rui Costa, Gabiel Omar Batistuta, Ortega, Luis Hernandez, Cuauhtemoc Blanco. They did not nor will ever win a WORLD CUP. Too bad for them, what a shame.

Ronaldinho is the best player in the world at the moment. He is an incredibly gifted and skillful player. The greatest of all time is Pele.

Pele is the best.\nMaradona was not bad but how he has been tainted by drugs - he cannot be an ambassador for the sport unless he gets some proper rehabilitation
