Born on October 23, 1940, Edson Arantes Do Nascimento was born into poverty. His father Joåo Ramos tried to put food on the table for Edson and Celeste Arantes (mother) but could not keep winning any games to get paid. Edson was in so much in poverty that he had no shoes to walk around at home or school. Pele was so poor that he only could go to school up to fourth grade because his parents couldn’t afford to pay Edson’s education anymore. Edson worked at a very young age because he was no longer able to get education, earning two dollars. Edson managed to get enough money to buy his first soccer ball and a pair of shoes. Fame
People called Edson at the age of 5 “Dico” just for a nickname and at the age of 10 people started to call him Pelé
