Considering that he is 33, in the next World Cup (should Saudi Arabia qualify) he would be 37 and possibly his last. I'm not seeing him playing by 2014, 41 years old

Pele has 3 World Cup titles. No other TEAM has that many titles (other than Brazil), and so no other player could have that many.

Pele has won world footballer of the year the most times Pelé scored six goals at the 1958 world cup in Sweden in his first world cup at the age of seventeen.he scored 1281 goals, Pelé started his football career in Santos in 1956, at the age of 15, and played in his first international match only ten months later. In 1958, Pelé became the youngest ever World Cup winner in Sweden at 17. He played in two more Brazilian World Cup-winning teams, in 1962 and 1970. He missed most of the 1962 and 1966 World Cups due to injuries sustained in the early stages of the tournament.\n\nPelé retired in 1974, but came out of retirement the following year to play in the North American Soccer League and joined the New York Cosmos, where he played his last game on Oct. 1, 1977, in front of a capacity crowd at Giants Stadium.Pele's official record with Brazil stands at 77 goals from 92 appearances. There is some confusion as to the actual total, with Brazil awarding international status to matches not otherwise recognised as such, and some matches have had their status revised recently. However, the figures above are those currently recognised by FIFA.

Pele.  1,000+ goals, 3 world cups, awesome skill.  There have been many that have had awesome skill but none has done more on the world stage over such a sustained period of time.

In 1958 Brazil, featuring a 17-year old Pele, defeated the hosts, Sweden, 5-2. That is the one and only time that a South American team won the World Cup on European soil. In fact the only other South American teams to reach the final game were Argentina in Italy 1990 (1-0 losers to West Germany) and Brazil in France 1998 (3-0 losers to France.)
