MY BIRO SKETCH TITLED: THE BIRTH OF A LEGEND "PELÉ OF BRAZIL"
Edson Arantes Do Nascimento known as PELÉ (born 23 October 1940) He's a black (Negro)who made name for himself through football.Back then,for a black man to make name for himself on a global stage, that means he needed to go extra mile,because base on the history of black people in Brazil, white people were widely preferred as their main football players,so Brazilian national team was principally composed of white people.
Going back to history, black people were brought from Africa to Brazil as slaves with the main purpose of working on sugarcane plantations for their White masters, most of these black slaves experienced hardship but thank God, slave trade was abolished.
In the midst of struggling and hustling, PELÉ rose up to stardom and made name for himself,not as a White man,but as a Negro just like me.He is regarded as the greatest football player of all time.He was voted world player of the century by international federation of football history and statistics. (IFFHS) PELÉ is the most successful league goal scorer in the world,scoring 1281 goals in 1363 games in which included unofficial friendlies and tour games.He also won 3 three World Cup trophies with Brazilian National Team.
A great man indeed
