A true trailblazer for so many young black footballers finding their way in the beautiful game.

Pelé was so important for so many reasons. But I’ll never forget playing the game as a kid, and often being the only Black player on my youth teams, how life-changing and affirming it was for me to be told that the best player to ever play the game was a Black kid from Brazil.
