               Edson was born in Três Corações, Minas Gerais, Brazil. His dad was a soccer player named João Ramos do Nascimento, also known as Dondinho. He was named after American inventor Thomas Edison, and did not receive the nickname "Pelé" until his school days. He didn't like the name at first, but the more he disliked it, the more his friends called him it.
              He grew up really poor and didn't even have enough money to buy a soccer ball. He usually played with a sock stuffed with paper. He got his first real ball at the age of 6 and was scouted out by a club called Clube Atletico Bauru. At 16 he was the top goal scorer in a profesional legue in Brazil. Just ten months after that, he was recruited onto the Brazil national team.

It consisted in doing almost a backflip, while kicking the ball, while scoring goal after goal. This trick has become a world famous move. Many profesional player are praised for acheiving this and almost all youth in the sport practice and wish to pull this one in a game. This world astonishing move is known as the "Bicylce Kick".
