Athlete who wrote the memoir "My Life and the Beautiful Game" (4)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Legendary Brazilian soccer player" , "Noted Brazilian footballer" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Brazilian World Cup footballer" , "Brazilian footballer of renown" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
