Just check out his goals on You Tube. No one else scored 1000 goals in a professional career. Just to make a point Pele played futsal as a boy, 11v11 was introduced to him later in his career. Do we introduce football to our protegees to early in their learning. Watch the incomparable Pele
1281 goals in 1363 matches - all-time world record
Top Brazilian goalscorer of all-time
IOC Athlete of the Century 1999
Right, a rare picture capturing PELE marked by the legendary George Best.
