Wealthy European clubs offered massive fees to sign the young player, but the government of Brazil declared Pelé an official national treasure to prevent him from being transferred out of the country. http://www.latinosportslegends.com/Pele_bio.htm May 05 06, 9:24 AM

In what country did Pele play his first World Cup for Brazil? He was a Renaissance painter who was strongly influenced by two other masters. From the architect he acquired a knowledge of mathematical proportions. From the sculptor he gained insight into a move beyond Gothic lines. Although he is known not by his original name, he is said to have influenced a Master who is more well known than he. Who was he, who were the architect and the sculptor, and who did he turn out to be a great influence to? Why do the wavelengths of stars broaden when they move away from us? Which football team or teams did Luciano Pavarotti play for?
