Pele(Attacker, Brazil)

At the age of 9, he had seen his father weep after Brazil’s loss to Uruguay and that incident is said to have been the beginning of history.

Eight years later, a timid 17 year old kid joined the national side after impressing the team coach Vincent Feola with his remarkable speed and skills. A goal against Wales and a hat trick against France in successive games marked his entry into the scene of World footbal. His World Cup career will mostly be remembered for the finals he played, four goals and 2 victories in 2 World Cup finals. The “Black Diamond” as he was famous called went on to become the most celebrated footballer of the world for his achievements and an inspiration to many for the success he achieved.
