Summary
Even people who don't know football know Pelé. The best of a generation of Brazilian players universally acknowledged as the most accomplished and attractive group of footballers ever to play the game, he won the World Cup three times and is Brazil's all-time record goalscorer.
But how did this man - a sportsman, a mere footballer, like many others - become a global icon? Was it just by being the best at what he did, or do people respond to some other quality?
The world's greatest footballer now gives us the full story of his incredible life and career. Told with his characteristic grace and modesty, but covering all aspects of his playing days and his subsequent careers as politician, international sporting ambassador and cultural icon, Pele: The Autobiography is an essential volume for all sports fans, and anyone who admires true rarity of spirit.

A good broad brush story
I would have liked more about his career at santos. He skips through years and captures the high points but doesn’t often cover the background around the team.

Everything you'd expect from the King
It turns out the great Pele isn't just the finest footballer ever, but he can also write a darn good autobiography. Of course, he's got much that is very interesting and enthralling to share. A class book.
