Pele football legend dies at age 82 widely regarded as the greatest player of all time and a three-time World Cup winner who masterminded the “beautiful game,” has died at the age of 82, his family said Thursday.

Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento on Oct. 23, 1940, he was almost exclusively known as Pelé — a nickname he supposedly earned after he mispronounced another footballer’s name.

Pelé joined the Santos Football Club in Brazil in 1956 at age 15 as an inside forward. The club won the São Paulo league championships and, in 1962 and 1963, both the Libertadores Cup and the Intercontinental Club Cup.

The forward, who operated as a second striker, made his international debut just a year after joining Santos, in 1957, and played at the World Cup the following year at age 17 — the youngest player ever. He picked up a hat trick in the semifinal against France and scored two goals in the championship game against the 1958 tournament host, Sweden.

Pele, the greatest footballer of all time, has died aged 82.

He was a three-time World Cup winner with Brazil, scoring a record 77 goals in 92 appearances for his country. Pele was also a member of the Brazil team that won the 1970 World Cup, considered by many to be the greatest-ever performance by a footballer.

In his native Brazil, Pele is revered as a national hero and is widely considered to be the greatest footballer of all time. His death will be a huge loss to the world of football and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him.
