It's hard to imagine these days, when we have multiple camera angles for even the most mediocre of plays, but most of Pelé's games were never even captured on film.
We have to rely on people's memories, newspaper articles, etc. His favorite ever goal had to be re-created in computer animation.
Such a shame, not having access to that material feels almost like the tragedy of the Library of Alexandria. How things have changed.

Expressions we use to this day( like “ gol de placa”). He was also very conscious in separating his public persona, Pele, from his private one, Edson, the man.
