In 1958 a 17 year old boy-genius was unveiled to the world in Sweden at the sixth FIFA World Cup. He was the youngest player to ever be named in a World Cup squad and he went on to rewrite the record books and over his career he would go on to become a household name and one of the most recognisable humans on the planet. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento he would be affectionately known across the world simply as Pelé – the greatest football player of all time.
