Before Pelé, Brazil had never won the world cup and nor did they for 24 years after him. He made Santos not only dominant in Brazil, against top players when South American clubs were easily a match for European, but best club in the world, destroyed the top European clubs Benfica (hat-trick in Benfica) and AC Milan, top scorer in the Intercontinental Cup.
He had a magnificent scoring record, including against European teams and in cup finals, won a huge number of trophies, and made a massive difference to Brazil's results compared to his absence in his career. In world cups he won every match but for 2 in which he was seriously injured, had 22 goals and assists in 14 matches.
He was a tremendous all-round player: 2 footed, athletic, great header, shot, pass, vision, dribble...
