Questions 16 – 18 refer to the following information.
Pele is the most iconic footballer of the twentieth Century. He epitomized the flair, joy
and passion the Brazilians bought to the game. Pele’s career spanned throughout the 1950s,
1960s and 1970s.
In his early career, the young and unknown Pele helped inspire Brazil to victory in the
1958 World Cup. In 1962, Brazil retained the World Cup. In 1966, Brazil was hot favorites,
but, lost out to the home nation England.
His crowing glory was the Brazilian victory in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. In this
world cup, some of the football played by Brazil and Pele was widely considered to the
greatest in the history of the game. Brazil won the final 4-1 against Italy; it was a genuine
advertisement for the ‘beautiful game’ and a fitting pinnacle of Pele’s international career.
Pele finished his career in the lucrative US league. In 1975, he signed for New York
Cosmos and played three seasons. He led the New York Cosmos to the US title in 1977 – the
year of his retirement.
After retiring, he has gone onto be a great ambassador for football and sport in general.
In 1992, Pele was appointed a UN ambassador for ecology and the environment. He was also
appointed a UNESCO goodwill ambassador. He is not only one of the most gifted footballers
of his generation, but, also a mild mannered man who used his fame and prestige for a
positive effect.
