Pele had a relevant political participation in Brazil during the 1990s in the Fernando Henrique Cardoso, former player became extraordinary minister of Sports in the newly created Ministry of Sports. It was the first black to assume a position of high political level in the history of Brazil.
In his period as minister, from 1995 to 1998, he was the mastermind of Law No. 9.615 / 98, known as Pelé Law. The law has replaced Zico Law and regulated Brazilian sports since then. Previously, clubs were pass owners athlete indefinitely. Since the law, the club owns the federative rights, but the economic rights may belong to entrepreneurs and investors, which led to much criticism of the King and other legislators.
6) WORK OF ART
Icon of Pop-Art call the American Andy Warhol had moments of inspiration thanks to Pele. In 1975, when King was acting at New York Cosmos, the artist photographed and became the image of the player with a soccer ball a work of art . It's no can of soup or a banana, other striking creations of the artist, but the image became iconic in Warhol's work.

8) THE KING AND QUEEN: DATING WITH XUXA
he King of Football and the Queen of Baixinhos. So it could have been the Brazilian court if the relationship of former player with the TV presenter Xuxa Meneghel had prospered.

Flavia and Sandra were daughters Pele had out of wedlock. The existence of the first went public in 2002. The second had to fight a legal battle with the King so that paternity was recognized.
9) RIDER UK CROWN
Pele is already King since playing days, but Queen's Knight he became only in 1997. The athlete was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II and became Sir Edson or, popularly, Sir Pele. As it is not British, the player can not use the fixed form of title, being only Honorary Knight. But that matters little, since who is King never misses the majesty, is not it?
10) FRIEND AND IDOL OF CHESPERITO
"It was better to have gone to see Pelé". The translation by the SBT for the episode "Let's go to the movies" series "Keys" does not convey the real character speaks (the original was alluding to the film "El Chanfle"), but is very well the feeling of Chesperito regarding ex -jogador.
Passionate about football, Roberto Gomez Bolaños declared himself King of Soccer Fan on several occasions. He claims that one of the saddest moments of his life was when he had to refuse playing the character keys on a movie starring former player, but that did not lessen the idolatry and gave birth to a friendship between the two
"Pele, my best idol called me! I thought it was a hoax production companions, but answered it and it was really. Unfortunately we could not do what he wanted, it was a movie with the 'keys', but I had promised that 'keys' would be for TV, not movies. Imagine my face that giant screen! But we were friends, and I was very proud. Had for all: 'Do you know who called me? Pelé! "Said Chesperito.
11) SINGER AND COMPOSER
And I could not forget this facet of the King!
Not only image Pele lived. The former always liked to drop his voice always had that chance. In addition to singing, the King still plays guitar and composes music. Among its successes are the songs "ABC", "Who am I? Who are you? "(Who sang for Diego Maradona) and" Comment for children "(singing beside the Joy Train). Pele also recorded a compact of success called "rhythm method" next to Elis Regina.
