A Brazilian dictionary has immortalised the name of Pele, the iconic footballer, by adding it as an adjective to describe someone who is ''Exceptional, Incomparable, Unique''.
The announcement was made by the Michaelis dictionary on after a campaign by the Pele Foundation to honour the football star attracted more than 125,000 signatures.
His real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. Pele was the nickname given to him by the people.
Pelé, whose given name was Edson Arantes do Nascimento, died in December at age 82 after battling complications from colon cancer.
The star had reigned as king of the global soccer world since his 1958 World Cup debut. He remains the youngest player to ever score in the World Cup — let alone cinch the winning goal in a final game — which he did at age 17.
