By the numbers: why Pele is arguably the greatest footballer ever
If you leave the current generation aside, the debate over the greatest footballer in history is restricted to just two names - Argentina's Diego Maradona and Brazil's Edson Arantes do Nascimento, or as the world knows him, Pele.
Pele is currently in India on his second visit to the country. On both occasions, he has visited Kolkata.
We earlier wrote about his first visit was in September 1977, when he represented the New York Cosmos in an exhibition match against Mohun Bagan.
This time around, he is here to witness Atletico de Kolkata's ISL match against Kerala Blasters, and also to watch the final of India's most prestigious youth football tournament, the Subroto Cup.
Catch brings you Pele's career in numbers, to try and give you an idea of the sheer magnitude of his achievements.
