Pelé consistently deceives the footballing community with half-truths regarding his achievements.
This is the same guy that said Nicky Butt was the 2002 FIFA World Cup's best player. So do not take his word as the gospel, especially when he's talking about himself (which he does a lot).
This article aims to enlighten your view on Pelé and here are the top five things he doesn't want you to know.

5. Pelé Didn't Officially Score 1,283 Goals
Pelé did score 1,283 goals, but 526 goals came in unofficial friendlies and tour games.
He even counted games he played for the Sixth Coast Guard in the military competition.
He officially scored 757 goals in 812 games.
As great as Pelé's goal scoring ratio was, it pales in comparison to Fernando Peyroteo.
Of course, Pelé probably would dismiss Peyroteo's achievements, just like I'm about to dismiss some of the Brazilian's goals.
Looking through Emilio Castaño's statistical analysis of Pelé's goal-scoring feats, you can't help but notice irregularities.
Scoreline
Santos 11-0 Botafogo Ri
Santos 11-1 Mar
Santos 10-3 Nitro-
Santos 10-0 Nac
Santos 10-1 Royal N
Santos 10-2 Gu
Santos 10-1 Juv
The eight goals Pelé scored against Botafogo didn't come against the Botafogo.
It came against a side bearing the same name and whose only achievement was producing the late great Sócrates.
It's not the Uruguayan Nacional but some state side in São Paulo. The same applies to Juventus—not the European one, but another irrelevant state side.
Using a modern-day example, it's like Chelsea beating up on Brentford and Leyton Orient in a separate London league.
Even Fernando Torres would score goals against those sides.
A real gauge of Pelé's goal-scoring ability was his international record.
He never scored four goals or more in a game and his 77 goals in 92 games is mortal, as opposed to his mythical 1,283 goals.

4. A Reality Check
Pelé needs a reality check regarding his FIFA World Cup achievements.

Most World Cup All-Star appearances
Most World Cup goals
Most World Cup goals in one final
Most World Cup goals in one tourname
Most World Cup goals in one game
Most World Cup games
Most World Cup games won
Most World Cup tournaments
Where's Pelé?

3. Pelé Was Outperformed in Every Single World Cup
Pelé played in four FIFA World Cup tournaments but was outperformed in every single one of them.
For a man that boasts about his goal-scoring prowess, I find it amusing that he never mentions himself as a Silver Boot winner.

To be fair, Pelé was injured during the 1962 and 1966 World Cup. When he was fully fit for the 1958 and 1970 World Cup, he wasn't the top goal scorer.
In fact, he wasn't even Brazil's top scorer during the 1970 World Cup. That accolade went to Jairzinho with seven goals.

2. Pelé Won Two FIFA World Cups, Not Three
Here's Pelé laying down the gauntlet to Lionel Messi:
Messi needs to reach 758 goals instead of 1,284 and needs to win two FIFA World Cups instead of three.
Pelé was a member of three World Cup-winning teams, but he sat out the large majority of the 1962 World Cup.
It was Garrincha who singlehandedly won the World Cup for Brazil, not Pelé.

1. Pelé Played with Historic Teammates
When Pelé compiled his 125 greatest living footballers list, he didn't include many of his teammates.
Regarding the teammates that made the cut: There are two of the greatest right-backs ever in Carlos Alberto and Djalma Santos. Then there is one of the greatest left-backs ever in Nílton Santos. Also a marvelous midfielder in Rivelino.
Here are Pelé's teammates who were ineligible for his list: Garrincha (inspired Brazil to win the 1962 FIFA World Cup), Vavá (scored three goals in two World Cup finals) and Didi (1958 World Cup Golden Ball winner).
Pelé shockingly omitted teammates: Gérson, Jairzinho, Gilmar, Tostão, Zit and Zagallo.
I read into the omissions as Pelé's way of downplaying his teammate's role in his success.
I would have liked to see Pelé symbolically include Santos strike partner Coutinho on the list as a way of saying thank you. After all, they did supposedly combine for over 1,000 goals.
I'll never forget what Gérson, who was Pelé's Xavi, said this about his role in that legendary 1970 World Cup team:
It was disgraceful that Pelé forgot about the thousands of passes Gérson made.
Meanwhile, Lionel Messi dedicated his FIFA Ballon d’Or to Xavi: "I want to share this with my friend, he deserves it."
Has anyone ever wondered were Pelé was when Garrincha's life was spiraling out of control?
Never forget that Pelé played with historic teammates who made him into the living legend he is.
They were that good that they didn't even need Pelé for the 1962 World Cup.
 
Hahahahahha consolation hizi FIFA imeshathibitisha pele alifunga magoli zaidi ya 1000 kwenye mechi zinazotambuliwa na FIFA zikiwemo official friendly matches sasa huyu ametoa wapi data kwamba mechi akiwa jeshini zimehesabiwa??? Ina maana FIFA wamedanganya miaka yote mpaka alipokuja huyu mzungu na article yake uchwara isiyo na ushahidi wa kitakwimu........

2. Ni kweli pele kachukua world cup 2 akiwa fit ila huwezi ukadharau role ya pele kwenye world cup ya 1962 na 1966 kisa aliumia..... Garrincha alisema uwepo wa pele uwanjani kwenye majukwaa hta kama hakucheza hatua ya mtoano ulitosha kumpa motisha ya kucheza kufa na kupona ili wamlindie heshima aliyojiwekea na kama ulifuatilia world cup 1966 utagundua kama sio pele kuteguliwa mguu Portugal walikuwa wapigwe nyingi na ndio maana baada ya pele kuteguliwa brazil ikacheza chini ya kiwango na kutolewa kwenye mashindano

3. Kutokuwaweka hao kwenye list ni kufuta dhana ya upendeleo kumbuka FIFA walimpa heshima ya kutangaza list ya FIFA 100 sasa humo angejaza wabrazil wenzake huoni list ingekuwa biased??? Hivyo ili kubalance ikabidi achague wachache ili aache nafasi kwa wachezaji wengine waweze kufit maana kma angesema aweke wabrazil kuanzia generation ya DIDI mpaka ya white pele bwana ZICO hiyo list ingejaa wabrazil watupu hivyo isingekuwa FIFA 100 bali BRAZIL 100

4. Kwanini mnaweka rekodi biased.... Yaani rekodi ambazo pele hajaweka ndio mnazilist alafu alizofanya mnaziweka kando ebooo!!!!

*Mbona hajasema mpaka leo hakuna mwenye magoli mengi zaidi ya pele kwenye timu ya taifa brazil
* hivi unajua mpaka pele anastaafu ndio alikuwa mbrazil mwenye magoli mengi zaidi kwenye world cup
* Mbona hajasema mpaka pele anastaafu alikuwa mchezaji mwenye assist nyingi zaidi kwa brazil kwenye world cup
Hao kina jairzinho na didi wakowapi??

Labda niseme tu hakuna na hatowahi kutokea mchezaji mwenye ushawishi ndani na nje ya uwanja zaidi ya pele

Jumapili njema

Unajua klose na de lima wamecheza mechi ngapi ili kufikia rekodi ya pele??? Pele kma angecheza mechi zote kombe la 1962 huenda angefikisha magoli 20!!!

Kingine kuwa mchezaji bora sio mpaka uwe top scorer hata Messi hajawahi kuwa top scorer wa world cup ila mnamuita mfalme wa soccer ..... Pia Angalia na assist pele alizotoa mpaka anastaafu aliweka rekodi ya dunia....

Okay unasema kwanni rekodi ziwe kuhusu brazil na sio dunia haya zifuatazo ni rekodi za dunia ambazo mpaka leo hakuna mtu duniani ameweza zivunja na hatoweza

1. Pele ndio mchezaji pekee duniani mwenye medali 3 za world cup....

2. Pele ana magoli mengi zaidi kwenye historia ya mpira na hajawahi kutokea hata wa kufika nusu yake

3. Pele ndio mchezaji mwenye Hat-trick nyingi kuliko wote katika historia ya mpira... Hat trick 92 upo hapo!! huyo messi wenu hta 50 sidhani hta atawahi kufikisha ukizingatia anakaribia kustaafu soka

4. Usisahau ndio mchezaji mdogo zaidi kufunga goli world cup na kunyanyua kombe.... Hawa makinda wa sahivi hta mmoja hajawahi kufikia rekodi hii alafu unamchukulia huyu mfalme rahis rahis

Labda niseme tu hakuna na hatowahi kutokea mchezaji mwenye ushawishi ndani na nje ya uwanja kumzidi Edson arantes dos nascimento PELE... Huyo messi hta medali ya dhahabu hajawahi igusa atamkaribia kwa lipi maana hata kwenye level ya club hakuna ambacho messi amemzidi pele

Mkuu pele kashinda world cup 3 na 1962 alicheza mechi mbili na alifunga goli ila kuumia ni kawaida ila alicheza group stages so usipotoshe watu humu kuwa kashinda world cup 2 pekee

Nmekumbusha tu kuwa alicheza 1962 world cup na aliivusha brazil group stage hivyo alistahili kupewa medali na ndio maana anahesabiwa ana world cup 3 so ww ndio umepotosha ila kama mjadala ni dribbling ingawa hakuna clip za mechi zake zote ila kuna baadhi nmeshuhudia pele yuko vzuri kwenye dribbling

Embu angalia mechi ya england kwenye hii clip uone alivyowadribble kma watoto wadogo
