Widely known simply as Pelé, Edson Arantes do Nascimento was born on October 23, 1940, in a small village called Tres Corocoes in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. He had quit school at the age of 9 to pursue soccer and was selected for the Brazilian National Team for the 1958 World Cup final. The nickname King soon trailed him as he accelerated to shoot goals with impeccable accuracy. The supporters feasted on his abilities as they deliriously chanted "Brazil cha cha cha, Brazil cha cha cha."
