Brazilian soccer legend, and arguably the
greatest footballer of all time, Edson Arantes do Nascimento, popularly known
as Pele, has been admitted into the Albert Einstein
hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
The 74-year old was taken to the hospital on
Wednesday, November 12, 2014, with a stomach complaint which forced him to miss
a book launch in his museum.
A spokesperson also confirmed the reports
saying: ‘Pele cancelled his appearance at the Pele Museum in Santos
because of health reasons.’
Reports indicate that the event will be
rescheduled until one of football’s iconic figures fully recovers.
Pele won three World Cups with Brazil, the
last of which came in 1970 in the tournament hosted by Mexico.
Pele, who spent his senior career with Santos
and New
York Cosmos between 1956
and 1975, led Brazil to victory at the FIFA World Cup tournaments in
1958, 1962 and 1970.
