He was named after American inventor Thomas Edison , and was originally nicknamed Dico by his family. He originally disliked the nickname, being suspended from school for punching the classmate that coined it, but the more he complained the more it stuck.
Taught to play by his father, whose own professional football career with Atletico Mineiro ended prematurely due to a knee injury, he could not afford a proper football and usually played with either a sock stuffed with newspaper, tied with a string or a grapefruit. His first team was called the "Shoeless Ones" formed by himself and other boys from the Sete de Setembro and Rubens Arruda street but, when they entered a local tournament organised by the mayor of Bauru that required footwear, they were no longer shoeless and were renamed Ameriquinha.
They reached the final in BAC Stadium in front of thousands of spectators and won with Pele ending up as the tournament top scorer. In , several members of the Ameriquinha team, including Pele, were invited to join the Baquinho boy's team to be managed by former Brazilian international Waldemar de Brito, who played in the World Cup in Italy. For the first time, Pele was paid to play football. In that match, he scored his first goal for Brazil, three months before his 17th birthday.
He was the youngest player of that tournament, and at the time the youngest ever to play in the World Cup. He scored his first World Cup goal against Wales in quarterfinals, the only goal of the match, to help Brazil advance to semifinals, while becoming the youngest ever World Cup goalscorer at 17 years and days.
He scored two goals in the final as Brazil beat Sweden His first goal, a lob over a defender followed by a precise volley shot, was selected as one of the best goals in the history of the World Cup.
When the match ended, he passed out on the field, and had to be attended by the medical staff. He then recovered, and was visibly compelled by the victory, in tears as being congratulated by his teammates. When he was 6, the family moved to a larger town in southern Brazil, where he shined shoes and sold roasted peanuts outside movie theaters to earn money for a soccer ball.
Unable to afford shoes himself, he also frequently played barefoot, and his friends eventually formed a team called the Shoeless Ones. But at that time, we didn't have too many Brazilian players outside the country. I was very happy at my team, Santos. I didn't have the desire to play outside the country. You know I'm from the United States, and I'm in politics there.
Soccer is coming along there-they're playing it in the schools. Would you like to help us promote soccer in the United States? In recent years, however, some have debated the extent of the reported ceasefire. He played the first half of the game for Santos, scoring one goal, and then switched jerseys and played for the Cosmos in the second half.
