'Magical' Pele was a footballing genius who pioneered the beautiful game
Pele and the World Cup became synonymous and is what elevated him to global superstar status.
However, he got injured in the second match and was out for the rest of the tournament as Garrincha then starred to bring home another trophy. It was not just his own teammates who were in awe of him, the other greatest players of his generation were all in agreement that there was no one better. For many he is the greatest footballer of all-time, but he spent most of his club career in Brazil racking up mind-boggling statistics.That is because he was literally a national treasure. The Brazilian government declared him one in 1961 to prevent foreign football clubs from taking him out of the country.Santos had started to receive offers from the European heavyweights of the day like Manchester United, Juventus and Real Madrid.
