Pele stands alone as the only player ever to win three FIFA World Cup titles (1958, 1962, 1970), a feat that outperforms #2 Garrincha's two victories. He scored 1,283 career goals—more than any other player in history—for Santos, the New York Cosmos, and the Brazilian national team. FIFA named him the Player of the Century. With 77 goals in 92 official international matches, Pele's production averaged 0.84 goals per game, a rate that is faster than the average of any top-10 Brazilian star.
