If You Don't Understand Why Pelé Was Called "The King", Watch This Video 

Truly a man who transcended the game.

There wasn't even a kid in Africa in the 70s who didn't know who Pele was, and there were very little TVs then. That's how big this man was in football then. Africa, Lesotho.🇱🇸🇱🇸🇱🇸💯👍🏿

pele is the ultimate legend, the man who started my interest for football, long live pele 🇧🇷🇧🇷

As a six year old in 1966, for the first time I watched Pele in the famous white shirt of Santos .. and I became addicted to Football!! There is no one like him!!

"When Pele talks the world listens" Cristiano Ronaldo. Yep, respect

When you see the face of Pele, it is like the face of soccer. As one of Pele’s old team mate used to say, “Pele invented everything in soccer”!

As young boys playing soccer in the fields, we often called ourselves Pele, King of Football.....and it was a universal title for every soccer-loving young boy. So basically Pele is Football!!!

Pelé has either scored a goal or provided an assist in EVERY SINGLE WORLD CUP MATCH he played in, this includes group stages, QFs, SFs and Finals. Pelé was in the scoresheet in all World Cup games!!

Even as a child, we all knew his name and his country even if we didn't have access to TV. Everyone talked about him and everyone loves him. That's the type of legend and hero he is. ❤️

Pelé was my father’s hero; allways has been until his dying days!

Two words to describe Pele: The. GOAT.

He's The G.O.A.T! That's just A FACT!

Stopping a war in Nigeria got me crying as if all reported achievements were not enough to get emotional. Thanks for the video! We loved Pele at my house growing up and we were a hardcore Christian family but Pele is Pele 😆👍🏽

My first world cup was 1962. Watching Pelé showed me how the game can and should be played. He will forever be, my King of football - the game he taught me to love!

I went to his soccer camp when I was kid in the 80's. He was such a nice guy.

Pe Le playyyyy!! Not only the best Brazilian ever, the best in the world! You better believe it.

He (Pele) was equally brilliant with both feet! Something that others who are mentioned in the same breath as him seriously lack!

He is indeed the King. One and only!

I watched Pele as a kid he was a great men, fantastic human being and a wonderful ambassador for his sport, its players, his people and his contry....RIP Pele you'll be missed.

One of Pele's teammates in the greatest world cup team ever of 1970 said of him. Well by the time you were thinking of what he was going to do with the ball, he had already done it and moved two steps ahead. That's what makes Pele different from the rest of the great players.

Amazing throwback of the KING PELE. Great voice over. Love everything about it!!

PEL'E IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME !!!!!

Pele didn't play in Europe, but he conquered the entire Europe!

Pele is the ultimate king of soccer who inspired all modern day football stars👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏. At the age of 3 years I already knew about this great man right back in Africa

My father told me many times about a final match between Santos and São Paulo when Pelé ended the game scoring two goals and defending a penalty kick when the goalkeeper went out by the red card. Both supporters, Of Santos and São Paulo arrised to hail, and congratulate the King at the final wisthle. It was Santos 2x0 Sao Paulo. My dad was a deep supporter of São Paulo. Fanatic for football. True lover by the game. I miss him

When Pele played, forwards did not have anywhere near the protection they get from referees today. They played with balls which were generally heavier and on pitches which were often a mess. Pele was clearly ahead of his time and would be my first choice in any all-time world eleven.

When Pelé started the numbers on the jersey weren't very well defined by position, fact Is Brazilian goalkeeper Gilmar wore the number 3 in the 1958 World Cup. So at those times Pelé picked the number 10 almost randomly. After him the number 10 became almost a synonymous to the best player in the team. If not for him Maradona, Messi, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Zico, Rivellino, Platini, Zidane, Totti, Neymar, etc would have picked different numbers, and the list goes on and on and on. Tell me about leaving a mark in the game.

Saw him play first game for the cosmos back in the 70,s at downing stadium in New York City. Scored on a bicycle kick. Downing stadium field was awful. In upper east side MANHATTAN. In Randall’s island. Met him in giants stadium in New Jersey after a game with my college teammates. Pele introduced football (soccer) to the USA.

Pele = The Greatest ❤️

He is e only player to have won 3 WC !!! He is definitely e best of e best!!!

The last speech of the video of Pele is damn true

Pele the greatest ever. Forever Pele will be King of football ⚽️ 🙌 ❤

The greatest football of all time period. King Pele. I'm an Italian supporter and know greatness when I see it. I saw Santos play in the late sixties and Pele was without a doubt the best at that time and, in my view, the greatest ever!

Nigeria ... always , we love Pele out here

"They love who pays a lil bit more"😄 fax.

I'm admiring him since my childhood late 6ties. He was the only greatest football icon flourished in my small village then. Long live Mr Pelé

Great video. I'm in awe at this unique human beings skill, his humanity, and his selflessness. What a world treasure----not just a Brazilian treasure!!!

Who else gained popularity without advent of tik tok ,instagram facebook, twitter, tv , snap chat? No one but the all time greatest KING PELE.

Just 15 years and playing inter ational games.....youngest ever in history. Youngest to score a hatrick.......He is a true football king. Pele is football history.

Pele, the greatest of all time. The King of football!!!

Pelé is king 🤴🏾 a legend who will never die he will still be remembered for centuries. I will tell my childrens grandchildrens to tell their childrens and future generations that football is a beautiful game and is for everyone it doesn't discriminate who you are, what you are, the game that has superheros and superwomems and will continue to have.

RIP legend 💔

Pele was one of my idols as a kid. He's a legend 👍

Pelé is a reference to the finest of other sports and areas as well. If someone sits on the top, you say, "that person is the Pelé of this profession", e.g. Michael Jordan is the Pelé of baskestball.

The Greatest of all time. The King of Football. The amount of contribution he has for football is unbelievable. The Legend of the beautiful game ❤️❤️❤️

RIP Pele! Along with Maradona he changed the face of football in the 20th century and transcended the sport.

The OG King of football ⚽️ 🙌 🔥✊️

Yep he's the king of football.

The Best Role Models in Futbol aka Football ⚽️🏆🥇🏅🎖️the Legend will be missed ❤

I remembered as a youth growing up Pele was very popular. I was too young to follow soccer back then but remembered his name constantly being called along with seeing clips from the 1970 world cup.

the best voice on OH MY GOAL

I'm so glad to live in the same era with pele

The comments of Pele in this video are just Fantastic 👌

GWS Pele 🤲 No matter which nation we are from or support, you are still a precious & timeless soccer/football legend other players aspire to become 🏆 👏

And I absolutely endorsed this message and video . Pele is indeed the king of football.

G O A T 👑#PELÉ👑

FOREVER. KING 🤴

R.I.P The greatest to play. Messi and Ronaldo of modern day are close but for me it has always been Edson Arantes do Nascimento.

He is the true GOAT 🐐🐐

Even my grandmother says that Pele is the best in history. She is from a small village and did not have access to any information and yet she knew who Pele was, the best

I grew up watching him play, and like every other boy I knew, we all wanted to be Pelé. Watching this video made me once again realize just how lucky I was to get to see him play. There will never be another like him!

R.I.P legend ❤️🕊

I saw Pele in his final years; and even though he was past his peak, you have no idea how euphoric it was watching Pele on that black and white set: I mean goosebumps stuff.

Rest in peace to the man who raised football 😭😭😭😭😭🐐🐐🐐

The greatest will always be the greatest

Fun facts: - Pelé was a substitute in the 1958 WC, and received the No.10 shirt. Because of the brazilian success, he adopted it as a "lucky number" and played with this number for his whole life. Due to his achievements on the field, the number on his back was so remarkable that was virtually impossible not to associate the number to him. Pelé was No.10, and No.10 was Pelé. Everyone wanted to be the "Pelé" of his team, hence most skilled players started to wear No.10 on their backs, and because of this the number started to be associated to a very skilled player. Skilled players wearing No.10 wasn't a thing before Pelé. He's the very reason *EVERY* skilled player wears a No.10 on their backs, including Zidane, Maradona, Ronaldinho, Pirlo, Messi, Cruyff, Del Piero, Bergkamp, Beckham and so many others. - Pelé was named the greatest athlete of the 20th century by MANY media presses from MANY countries. I mean... *MANY!* And even so by World Class players from that time, such as George Best, Beckenbauer, Fontaine, Bobby Charlton, Puskás, Cruyff, Mazzola, Dino Zoff and so many more. - Pelé has met the Queen Elizabeth in person, in 1968. But *SHE* went to Brazil to meet him, not the opposite. Hence his importance globally.

Bro lived his life like hes in a movie and hes the protagonist.

Oh my goal never disappoints ❤️‍🔥🥰

We'll talk about Pele later. Randy Shannon is probably the best voice over guy I have ever heard. Keep it up brother 👌🏾

Who is watching after his death? R.I.P legend.

Man I was born in 1999 and even I'm in this generations of football, like we got Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi these guys are good but Pele was a legend and I agree that he's the king of football even though I haven't seen him playing....... Pele started the battle and Christiano Ronaldo And Lionel Messi continued it for later generations to come but Pele is the King👑Of Football and I agrees mate❤️💯

This generation is oblivious to the fact that while Messi was just winning the U-17 WC for Argentina as a teenager,” against his PEERS; Pele was scoring goals in the REAL WC finale as a teenager against GROWN MEN….

Also, when Pelé played most of his games, it didn’t have red and yellow cards, and forwards were severely hunted.

Pele was such an inspiration for me as a young kid playing soccer in America in the eighties. There will never be anyone as good as him.

Yeah, Mr Pele is the best. He has all our respect. Love Brazil 🇧🇷 alway,, from USA 🇺🇸

Outstanding retracing of him 🇧🇷 respect for him 🙏

He is the MJ of football and Mj was the Pelé of Basketball🔥🔥🔥

He lived on a different era. No internet, no social media. Barely a TV and in Brasil, TV was just starting. Few people know that back in the 60's there was basically one TV station covering FUTEBOL, and a fire on this station destroyed several files with his goals. A big shame.

Thanks to pele and cruyff and Maradona they inspired some of the greatest players ever like Ronaldinho messi and much much more

The GOAT. THE KING !!!

Rest in peace King 👑👑👑

Fly high legend ❤ you were a king among footballers and inspired many people. You can’t ever be replaced

We will not see another Pele. He simply cannot be replaced.

Great human being. We need more like Mr Pele.

Pele is a legend. The first football player I was introduced to we had a story book about Pele.

Rest Well Legend

the most complete player ever! Thanks The King

Thank you for making a video on pele. For me pele is simply the best footballer of all time. Even with some arguments in the football community he is still in top 5 best footballers. Even Fifa did a study on how many ballon d'or he would have won if that award was available to non Europeans In his time. And the answer was 7 ballon d'or.No I am not lying at all,you can google it And another reason I like him is because hwo he did 50 years ago what people struggle to do even now. Like the Zidane rotate, cruyff turn and seal dribble even though they are called as so,all these skills were first done by pele. There are plenty of videos showing how he did a lot of modern skills in his time. The hate he gets is unreal Calling him a fraud or manchild. He even played against European giants like ac milan with a Santos and won most of the matches played against those clubs. People may disagree or argue,but for me his the best

Pelé é maior do que o próprio futebol. Descanse em paz rei🙏🏽

RIP Legend

My family come from the same Pele’s city! I’m crying today! Pelé we Will love you for ever!

The Greatest of all time ⏲. More World 🌎 cups than any other.

Living legend 😎💪

My GOAT A Poem for you RIP You move as if you never touch the field You smile without light You love without screening You give without asking You play without complaining We move with courage We smile with joy We love with cheers We give with gratitude We play with you

Rip Pele will forever be know as a legend

Love live the legacy of Pele, O Rei. May he rest in peace.

Pele the best there is the best the was and the best there ever be.

As far as im concerned, Pele is Football, when I was growing up and we speak about football, its Pele that comes to mind, everyone wanted to be like him play like him, today football is saturated and all watered down, it all about money and fame. Mbappe gave all his money being broke on his first big paycheck and plays for the love of it, maybe there still hope in some of them, long live Pele, get better man, and God Bless for the years in the game.

Great vid bro! RIP King Pele 👑🕊🖤

“They love who paid a little bit more.” That sums up today’s football game. RIP !
