When Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born in the Brazilian town of Tres Coracos in October 1940- no-one could have predicted the phenomenal impact he would go on to have on the beautiful game. Football would never be quite the same again. Pele – as he became known at school – remains the game’s greatest ever player more than 30 years after he finally hung up his famous boots and while rivals to his crown have come and gone- he is and will forever be the king of football. This personally signed leather ball commemorates the Brazilian’s record-breaking career with club and country.
