Pele made his World Cup debut in 1958 at the age of 17, becoming the youngest player to lift the trophy. Brazil defeated the host country Sweden 5-2 in the final, with Pele scoring a brace.
Four years later, Pele participated in his second World Cup, one which was also won by Brazil.
Yet, he struggled with a groin strain and only featured in two games.
Brazil missed out on the trophy in 1966, but Pele led them all the way to glory four years later, when the Selecao beat Italy in Mexico.
