Mom I would like to tell you that the Brazil National Team have chosen me to play in this year's world cup. I am very excited and kind of nervous. This year Brazil will win the world cup for sure. I probably wont play that much but it will be fun training with the best. Tell dad the news and tell him to wright back. Also tell him that I was the first pick for the team. I will be training more with the national team then Santos.

                     From your son, Pele

My family was poor

I didn't even have a one dollar bill

I didn’t have a bedroom door

When I was fifteen 

I was on a pro team

I practiced a lot so I was lean

I was so good people called me extreme

I played in 3 world cups

I scored 77 goals in all

For the first one I was getting hurt so the bench and I were called “backups”

Some say my kick was like a cannonball

I retired in 1977 

I was the player of the century

At this time my son was eleven

My dad suffered from a injury 

      Who am I?
