Pele was an iconic soccer player, known for his tactics and moves on the field. He wasn’t just limited to his country but had a global fan following.

He also confessed that he somehow managed to get his autographed jersey (when he was travelling to India). Abhishek Bacchan further added that Pete is who taught about Joga bonito and showed his magic on the field. This iconic personality shall not only be remembered but cherished for decades to come.
