In his own words. From the poverty-stricken streets of Sao Paulo to an international icon and one of the most celebrated footballers of all time, Pele's life story is as extraordinary as it is enrapturing. With his trademark wit and deference, the legend draws us into a wonderful story lit by insight and humour and encompassing everything you ever wanted to know about the great man himself. From shining shoes for extra pennies at the Baru Athletic Club to triumph in several World Cups, the glory of being on top of the world -- and staying there -- is shared in what is undoubtedly one of the must-read autobiographies of the year. On top of his athletic achievements, Pele has also been a staunch campaigner for human rights and in particular the plight of street children in his home country, leading to an appointment as a UN Ambassador and an honorary knighthood from the British monarchy. By turns addictive, moving and enlightening, this is the ultimate story of the rise of a star and an amazing testimony to how even the lowliest of society's people can reach the dizzying heights of worldwide adoration and success. Review: Loved it - My son who hates to read but loved reading about Pele. It jelps that he loves soccer. I read it myself and Pele loved Pele. It was fun reading. Review: My Childhood Hero. I modelled My Football After Him. Also Good To Know The Other Aspects Of His Life. A Very Interesting Read. - Pele is my Childhood hero. As a footballer and a striker, I had perfected and improved my skills by learning from the greatest player in the world. Like Pele, goal-scoring was so natural to me. As a young boy, I bought his book "My Life And The Beautiful Game". I have forgotten, most of the things I read, because it's been a long time. But buying his autobiography, brought some of the memories back. It is so good to know not only his football life but the other aspects of his life. I really enjoyed the book. It makes me to mirror my own life and to remember some aspects of my own life, that I left out in my own book "Ex-Football Player Touched By The Fire Of God". I did that intentionally because, my focus is about lifting up the name of Jesus. I recommend this book to everyone, especially upcoming young boys and girls, who will be famous one day. There is a lot to learn from his autobiography. He will remain the greatest sportsman in my mind because of his humility and how he conducted himself in the field of play. I love him.

Ex-Football Player Touched by the Fire of God: In the Flame of His Glory ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Authentic and truly inspiring *by K***R on June 12, 2019* I loved the fact that it is such an easy read and how open he was about telling his life story. And although there is already a biopic about his life (Pele: Birth of a Legend) which I really enjoyed, I feel that "Pele: The Autobiography" truly introduces you to this extraordinary man. I just want to meet him in person now! ## Frequently Bought Together - Pele: The Autobiography [Paperback] Pelé - El Diego - Faster than Lightning My Story --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5500434-pele-the-autobiography](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/5500434-pele-the-autobiography) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-20*
