 King Pelé Day, as it's been called, will be celebrated annually on the 19th of November. On that day, in 1969, he scored the thousandth goal of his career. It took place in Rio's Maracanã Stadium while playing for Santos. Pelé became known as the King of Football after helping Brazil win the first World Cup in 1958 when he was only 17 years old. Pelé went on to win two more World Cup titles with Brazil.
