#3 Pele
Ad
Several footballers and managers have burst into tears after claiming some of the football's top prizes, but very few of them have conveyed their victory so emotionally and as fittingly as an impressionable young Brazilian star in 1958.

Later recognized as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, a 17-year-old Pele appeared in Sweden during the 1958 FIFA World Cup and became the youngest player to ever play in a World Cup final after he fired the Selecao to final of the competition. He bagged two stunning goals in that final as Brazil defeated the hosts 5–2 in Stockholm.
He was paraded for his brilliant display after the match, but the Brazilian, unable to hold the joy, burst into tears that afternoon.
