I believe he was still called that in 1958, until his goals propelled Selecao to the Copa Mundial, remoing all the pain of 1950.\n\nPele for all his greatness in football can also be best described as the man who broke divisions between 'White and Black' Brasillians in football. He was the first great Black player for Brasil and his achievements of 1958 meant nobody in Brasil will ever look at race again, when it comes to sporting excellence.

Pele has been quoted as saying that Ronaldinho from Brazil reminds him of himself when he was younger. If you've seen the Nike Soccer TV commercials of a young boy playing what looks like soccer in a gym and then an older version of the boy with long hair doing amazing moves on the "court" -- that is Ronaldinho. \n\nAn article in World Soccer recently cited Ronaldinho's commercial value now surpassing that of David Beckham from England. Ronaldinho is anticipated to be the most stand out player in the 2006 World Cup. He is no doubt the best in the world at this time.

Pele\nEdson Orantes de Nasciemento\n\nwatched a million movies of his highlights at soccer camp as a kid.\n\nsaw him score on a bicycle kick in a Brazil v. Mexico friendly. Saw him play for Brazil and NY Cosmos.\n\nInstrumental in Brazil's creation of "The Beautiful Game."\n\nWithout Pele, there would be no soccer as we see it played today. There would be no Maradona, Romario, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, Beckham, Zidane, Figo, you name 'em!

Oliver Kahn . . . \n\nIn 2002, he won the Adidas Golden Ball for best player and the Yashin Award for top goalkeeper of the 2002 World Cup, after allowing only two of the seven national sides to score against him: the Republic of Ireland and the ultimate champions Brazil. Despite being beaten only three times overall, he was widely blamed for losing the final after allowing Brazilian striker Ronaldoto score the first goal. He also starred for his country at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004.

He was related to Falco of Spurs fame I think - not the Brazilian Falcao. Anyway - I read something about him giving up as the pressure was too much and he took up a uni degree in sports psycology or something similar. Hope that helps?

Pele (Edson Arantes do Nascimento)\nBrazil\nYears Played: 1956 - 1977\n\nWhy he's one of the greatest: At the age of 17, Pel scored six goals in the 1958 World Cup, inspiring Brazil to its first title.\n\nThroughout his illustrious career both on and off the pitch, Pele has remained a true ambassador of the game. Making his club debut for Santos at the age of 15 in 1956, he remained with the club until 1974. Although facts and figures could never do justice to the majesty that was Pele, his 1,281 goals in all competitions certainly serve to prove the point. He helped lead Santos to nine State Championships, and claimed two consecutive World Club Championships in 1962 and 1963.\n\nThere is no player who can claim greater success on the world stage. Pele made his international debut at the tender age of 16. A year later and his teammates pressured the national coaching staff to include the 17-year-old in the 1958 World Cup squad. Kept out of the majority of the tournament due to injury, Pele came on in Brazil's pool match against the Soviet Union. In the quarterfinals, Pele scored the winner against Wales, a hat trick in the semifinals against France, and two in the final against Sweden, Brazil won the 1958 World Cup... and a star was born. Out with injury for the 1962 World Cup, Pele returned to the national squad and claimed one more World Cup title in 1970. Voted the Century's Greatest Footballer along with Diego Maradona, Pele has continued to be an inspiration to the "the beautiful game."

Pele. He is the all-time top scorer in the history of the Brazil national team and is the only footballer ever to win three World Cup trophies (it should be noted that, due to injury, he did not participate in Brazil's World Cup triumph in 1962 and did not recieve a medal). \n\nEnjoy!!!
