Pele has passed away at the age of 82 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Pele had been treated for colon cancer since 2021 and had been hospitalized with multiple ailments over the last month.

Pele won three World Cup tournaments with Brazil and 10 league titles with Santos, his club team, as well as the 1977 North American Soccer League championship with the New York Cosmos. Pele came out of retirement at the age of 34 to spend three seasons with the Cosmos.

Pele helped create and promote what he later called “o jogo bonito” — the beautiful game — a style that valued clever ball control, inventive pinpoint passing and a voracious appetite for attacking.

He did not score 1000+ goals, but he is still a legend.

According to the Guinness Book of Records he did. But only if you count the friendly games too.

And if you count friendly games, he is not the only. This is what some people here don't get it. They thinks that Pelé is the only one to score more than 1000 goals.

And you do know that people can simply PAY for the Guiness to create any record, right. Even Sony used VGCHARTZ ffs, to buy an entry in the book.
