Pele visits Melbourne

Last night I didn’t have to travel to Brazil to meet one of my all-time inspirational people. PELE travelled to Melbourne, Australia!

Born on October 23, 1940, in Três Corações, Brazil, soccer legend Pelé is a football (soccer) superstar. Pelé played professionally in Brazil for two decades, winning three World Cups launching him into the international spotlight. Pelé was named FIFA’s “Co-Player of the Century” in 1999, along with Argentine Diego Maradona.
One of the greatest and most inspirational people to come from Brazil. As someone who has grown up playing and loving football, it is a privilege and an honour to be have met him.
