Edson Arantes do Nascimento, the man named after the great inventor Thomas Edison, reinvented football as “the beautiful game” through his acrobatics, the excitement of his play, how he commanded the ball with his body and his feet, and how he scored some of the greatest and most beautiful goals in football history. He was an artist on the field.
Pelé’s legacy is defined by his ability to bring magic and excitement to the game, and his memorable goals will continue to be remembered for years to come.
Pelé was Brazilian football. He was Brazil. He was Santos. For one beautiful decade, with the world and the ball at his feet, Pelé was the maximum expression of sport around the planet, well, except perhaps in North America, where football failed to take hold. But, he still caused ripples in the US during his time at the New York Cosmos.
Max Prado, who lived in Silver Spring, Maryland, in the Washington, DC area, met Pelé even before his move to The Big Apple. Prado captained a soccer team called Illimani in the semi-pro La Liga DC. The team was made up of Bolivian, Argentine, Mexican and Uruguayan immigrants.
