Pelé's farewell note to the Brasilian public: "My people / I would like to thank you person- / ally, each one of you, for everything / you gave me of love and incentive / during my eighteen years of soccer. / All that I wanted to do was to give / you my best, to give you / pleasure and joy. / If sometime I ever let you down / please forgive me. / I'm also human. / Edson=Pelé. / Brasil October 1974" GIF Version |

True love and admiration for an athlete like no other. The little boy
born Edson Arantes do Nascimento who grew up to be Pelé - an international hero, admired
by many, respected by even more. He has the incredible power to unite people and stop war,
even if for a short time. Let all look up to the man who came to be known as the King, not
only for his skills, but also for his morals, his honor, and his good-will. Retouched Version |
