In November, Pele celebrated his mother’s birthday by “uploading” some photos on Instagram
Pelethe legend of the courts, is gone forever, but his mother, Celeste, is still here. The old woman recently turned 100 and according to the international media she has no contact with the environment and is bedridden.
In November, Mr Pele celebrated his mother’s birthday by “uploading” some photos on Instagram.
“Today we celebrate 100 years of Donna Celeste. From an early age, he taught me the value of love and peace. I have many more than 100 reasons to be thankful to be her son. I share these photos with you with great emotion to celebrate this day. Thank you for every day I spent by your side mom,” wrote the great Pele.
The newspaper “O’Globo” recently named Celeste as “Brazilian Mother of the Year”. Pele’s father did not make much money as a professional footballer, as he never recovered from a serious knee injury. So, for a long time, Celeste pushed her son to choose another profession.
Celeste was born in Tres Coracoes, Minas Gerais, Brazil, but when Pele was a child they moved to Bauru. When he was 12, Pele played for the first time in a youth tournament.
She was required to wear shoes, but she didn’t have any. One man, who had three boys Pele’s age, agreed to give him a pair if he was allowed to coach the youth team. And just like that, the man, who was to become known throughout the world for his talent on the court, played in a tournament for the first time.
