Title:
Pele’s Vintage Leather Football Fragment.
Description:
Like many Brazilians, Edson Arantes do Nascimento has been known by many names.
He was called “Dico” by his family and “Gasolina” because he was so fast, but the one name
that really stuck was Pelé. The name Pelé has no actual meaning in Portuguese, but the life of the greatest soccer player of all
time has been anything but meaningless.
The specimen in the Mini Museum comes from a vintage leather football owned by Pelé
and acquired by auction in London, England in 2016. This personal auction was the most lucrative sale of football memorabilia in history.
