It didn’t take long for him to make it to the senior squad. Despite his youth and 5-foot-8 frame, he scored against grown men with the same ease he displayed against friends back home. He debuted with the Brazilian club at 16 in 1956, and the club quickly gained worldwide recognition. The name Pele came from him mispronouncing the name of a player called Bile. He went to the 1958 World Cup as a reserve but became a key player for his country’s championship team. His first goal, in which he flicked the ball over the head of a defender and raced around him to volley it home, was voted as one of the best in World Cup history.

Match officials Referee: Martin AtkinsonAssistant Referees: Lee Betts & Constantine HatzidakisFourth Official: Simon HooperVAR: Lee MasonAssistant VAR: Darren Cann Born in the village of Drighlington, midway between Leeds and Bradford in the West Riding of Yorkshire, in March 1971, Martin Atkinson began refereeing at the age of 16. He joined the Football League as an assistant referee aged 27, in 1998, before being promoted to the national list of referees five years later. Atkinson refereed his first Premier League game, Manchester City’s 3-0 win over Birmingham City, in April 2005. The following year, 2006, he was appointed to the FIFA list of international referees.
Alongside the Danes, Brentford's success this season has been based on players from a host of other countries, most notably Sweden centre-back and captain Pontus Jansson, French forward Bryan Mbuemo, Jamaica defender Ethan Pinnock, German defensive midfielder Vitaly Janelt, Spanish goalkeeper David Raya and English centre-forward Ivan Toney. Toney has been to Brentford what Michail Antonio has been to West Ham United, leading the line selflessly and scoring eleven important Premier League goals. While Norwich City and Watford may have finished above Brentford in the Championship last season, it is the Bees who have looked better prepared for the challenges of the Premier League this, from their opening-day home win over Arsenal to last weekend's victory at Stamford Bridge.
He was often seen in a wheelchair during his final years and did not attend a ceremony to unveil a statue of him representing Brazil’s 1970 World Cup team. Pele spent his 80th birthday isolated with a few family members at a beach home. Born Edson Arantes do Nascimento, in the small city of Tres Coracoes in the interior of Minas Gerais state on Oct. 23, 1940, Pele grew up shining shoes to buy his modest soccer gear. Pele’s talent drew attention when he was 11, and a local professional player brought him to Santos’ youth squads.
“He is key for Black people’s pride in Brazil, but never wanted to be a flagbearer. ”Pele’s life after soccer took many forms. He was a politician — Brazil’s Extraordinary Minister for Sport — a wealthy businessman, and an ambassador for UNESCO and the United Nations. He had roles in movies, soap operas and even composed songs and recorded CDs of popular Brazilian music. As his health deteriorated, his travels and appearances became less frequent.
Different sources, counting different sets of games, list Pele’s goal totals anywhere between 650 (league matches) and 1, 281 (all senior matches, some against low-level competition. )The player who would be dubbed “The King” was introduced to the world at 17 at the 1958 World Cup in Sweden, the youngest player ever at the tournament. He was carried off the field on teammates’ shoulders after scoring two goals in Brazil’s 5-2 victory over the host country in the final.

The 1966 World Cup in England — won by the hosts — was a bitter one for Pele, by then already considered the world’s top player. Brazil was knocked out in the group stage and Pele, angry at the rough treatment, swore it was his last World Cup. He changed his mind and was rejuvenated in the 1970 World Cup.
For fans of a fresh and unique football story, Brentford's is one to savour, and it looks like this season is merely one of the early chapters. Previous meetings Sunday's game will be just the second Premier League fixture between the two clubs, with the first having taken place at London Stadium back on 3 October 2021. Bryan Mbuemo put Brentford into a 20th-minute lead, but Jarrod Bowen appeared to have secured a point for West Ham United when he levelled ten minutes from full-time. However, Yoane Wissa's goal in the fourth minute of added-time secured all three points for the Bees.

Brentford's only likely absentee is Ilford-born midfielder Josh Dasilva, who has a hamstring injury. The opposition – Brentford Brentford have enjoyed a strong debut Premier League season under the shrewd eye of head coach Thomas Frank. Utilising the unique scouting, recruitment and player development system put in place since analytics-led sports gambler Matthew Benham took control of the club a decade ago, the Bees flew into the top-flight via the EFL Championship Play-Offs last season. Having honed his skills with Danish club Midtjylland, Benham recruited a Danish coach in Frank, who was promoted to the role of head coach in 2018, and players from the country have played a big role in Brentford's recent rise. Among them are current squad members Christian Nørgaard, Mathias Jensen and the recently recruited Christian Eriksen, who has made a welcome and impressive return just a few months after suffering a cardiac arrest while playing for his country at UEFA Euro 2020.
Widely regarded as one of soccer’s greatest players, Pele spent nearly two decades enchanting fans and dazzling opponents as the game’s most prolific scorer with Brazilian club Santos and the Brazil national team. His grace, athleticism and mesmerizing moves transfixed players and fans. He orchestrated a fast, fluid style that revolutionized the sport – a samba-like flair that personified his country’s elegance on the field. He carried Brazil to soccer’s heights and became a global ambassador for his sport in a journey that began on the streets of Sao Paulo state, where he would kick a sock stuffed with newspapers or rags.

Prior to that, the most-recent meetings came back in the 1992/93 season, when both clubs were in the old Division One (now the Championship). West Ham were promoted that season, having drawn 0-0 at Brentford's old Griffin Park stadium before thrashing the Bees 4-0 at the Boleyn Ground, where Martin Allen, Peter Butler, Trevor Morley and Kevin Keen got the goals for Billy Bonds' Hammers. Our first-ever meeting came all the way back on 11 September 1897, when Thames Ironworks FC, as we were then known, won a London League fixture 1-0 at the Memorial Grounds, with Scotsman Jimmy Reid getting the only goal of the game in front of 1, 000 spectators.
Injury limited him to just two games when Brazil retained the world title in 1962, but Pele was the emblem of his country’s World Cup triumph of 1970 in Mexico. He scored in the final and set up Carlos Alberto with a nonchalant pass for the last goal in a 4-1 victory over Italy. The image of Pele in a bright, yellow Brazil jersey, with the No. 10 stamped on the back, remains alive with soccer fans everywhere. As does his trademark goal celebration — a leap with a right fist thrust high above his head. Pele’s fame was such that in 1967 factions of a civil war in Nigeria agreed to a brief cease-fire so he could play an exhibition match in the country.
He was knighted by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in 1997. When he visited Washington to help popularize the game in North America, it was the U. S. president who stuck out his hand first. “My name is Ronald Reagan, I’m the president of the United States of America, ” the host said to his visitor. “But you don’t need to introduce yourself because everyone knows who Pele is. ”[ VIDEO: Premier League highlights]Pele was Brazil’s first modern Black national hero but rarely spoke about racism in a country where the rich and powerful tend to hail from the white minority. Opposing fans taunted Pele with monkey chants at home and all over the world. “He said that he would never play if he had to stop every time he heard those chants, ” said Angelica Basthi, one of Pele’s biographers.
Newly-promoted Brentford, meanwhile, look on course to stay up, having collected 33 points from 31 games to put themselves in 14th, nine points ahead of Burnley in 18th, albeit the Clarets have two games in hand on Thomas Frank's men. The Bees stung West Ham late in the reverse fixture at London Stadium back in September, when Yoane Wissa's added-time strike secured a 2-1 win for the visitors.
