O Rei do Futebol

An abstracted oil painting on canvas of Pelé, the Brazilian legend

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, known to the rest of us as Pelé was one of the greatest players to ever touch a soccer field. I spent many hours rewinding and rewatching the World Cup VHS tapes I had, and he was responsible for a few feats of magic on-field that I tried to emulate (ask anyone on my travel teams pre-2000, and I had a decent free kick, but I digress).

“When you control the ball, you control the score” Pelé once stated. The essence of winning The Beautiful Game in its most pure form. He was and always will be the King of Football.
