Superb career-spanning lot (5) of signed jerseys by Pele, regarded by most players, journalists, and fans as the greatest soccer player of all-time. Born as Edson Arantes do Nascimento and known by his soccer name as "Pele," he began his career as a 15-year-old with Santos, famous Brazilian professional team. Pele soon also played for the Brazilian National team, making his debut when he was only 16. This goal scoring and playmaking forward led Brazil to three World Cups: 1958, 1962, and 1970. Late in his career, Pele joined the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League in 1975. The jerseys were most likely manufactured for signing purposes. 1) Santos black and white stripped jersey with black #10 on back. Contains Santos Football Club patch on front.
