On this day: Pelé was born

Thursday, 23rd October 2014 by

Celebrating his 74th birthday today is Pelé, one of the greatest ever football players. At least we think he is celebrating - Wikipedia says he was born on either October 21 or 23. He is commemorated by several statues, including this one in Tres Coracoes, his birthplace.
