Judilson Mamadu Tuncará Gomes, known as Pelé, is a professional footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder. Born in Portugal, he represented the Guinea-Bissau national team at the senior international level.
“Every kid around the world who plays soccer wants to be Pelé. I have a great responsibility to show them not just how to be like a soccer player, but how to be like a man.”
“[On his unpublicized work as a songwriter.] I didn't want the public to make the comparison between Pele the composer and Pele the footballer. That would have been a huge injustice - in football my talent was a gift from God, music was just for fun.'”
