Voice 1 
The year was 1958. It was the first international broadcast of the World Cup football tournament. People from all over the world were watching this global sporting competition. Brazil was playing against Sweden in the final game. The game was tied at zero. Neither team was winning. But then a young man from Brazil ran down the field. He was only 17 years old. At the time, he was the youngest player ever to play in a World Cup game. The man guarding the goal, the defender, was standing very close to the young man. The young man stopped the ball with his chest. Another defender came in front of him. Amazingly, the young man kicked the ball over the defender's head. He quickly ran around the defender. Then he immediately kicked a strong shot into the goal.

Voice 2 
The crowd cheered wildly. The goal became one of the most famous goals in World Cup history. The young man was the youngest player ever to score in a World Cup game. His name was Pelé. And the World Cup of 1958 was the year Pelé became a legend. Today's Spotlight is on Edson Arantes do Nascimento, or Pelé - the most famous football player in the history of the world.
Voice 1 
Pelé grew up in São Paulo, Brazil. His family was poor. His father was a local football player. He taught Pelé to play at a very young age. The family did not have enough money for a real football. So Pelé would often play with a ball made from old clothes filled with paper, or even a piece of round fruit! As he got older, Pelé started to play for local teams. Waldemar de Brito was a former World Cup player. He coached a team for young people in São Paulo. De Brito brought Pelé to play for the football team Santos. At the time, de Brito said that 15-year-old Pelé would be the greatest football player in the world. And he was right.
Voice 2 
After the 1958 World Cup tournament, Pelé's fame as an amazing football player grew. In total, Pelé played four World Cup tournaments for Brazil. He led Brazil to victory in three of them. Unlike many other players, Pelé stayed in Brazil for most of his career. He says now that he had offers from big European teams. But the country of Brazil wanted him to stay.
Voice 1 
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Pelé travelled the world with Brazilian teams. People say that one time, he even stopped a war. The year was 1967. The country of Nigeria was fighting the Biafran War. Pelé's team was supposed to play a football game in the city of Lagos. Many of the fighters wanted to watch the game. They wanted to see Pelé play. So they agreed on a two day ceasefire! Both sides officially stopped fighting. His skill was that famous, and that excellent. Clodoaldo, one of Pelé's teammates, said,
Voice 3
"In some countries they wanted to touch him, in some they wanted to kiss him. In others they even kissed the ground he walked on."
Voice 2 
Pelé truly made Brazilians proud. On November 19th 1969, Pelé scored his 1,000th goal in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This was something exciting for all Brazilians. They called it "O Melésimo," or "The Thousandth." When he scored this goal, hundreds of people ran onto the football field to celebrate. It took 30 minutes for the game to begin again. Carlos Drummond de Andrade is a famous Brazilian poet. He wrote that Pelé's skill was more than just in numbers. He said,
