Pelé’s eternal beauty
November 20, 2009 by William K. Wolfrum
Forever the most famous person to come from Brazil, the great Pelé was beauty defined on the soccer pitch. At Life Magazine, they’ve unearthed some unseen photos of the greatest soccer player ever, in honor of the 40th anniversary of his 1,000th goal. Take a look here.

The most obvious testament to the greatness of Pelé, is that people who know nothing about soccer, people who don’t really care about soccer, know who Pelé is and know that he was a truly awesome athlete.
And I should know.
Just a shame that Pele wasn’t French. Just imagine how much more beautiful & accomplished he could’ve been if he wasn’t constrained by having to use only his feet on the pitch.
or Irish for that matter Hugh, ask Robbie Keane
