Legendary Brazilian footballer (4)

I believe the answer is:

pele

'legendary brazilian footballer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for pele that I've seen before include "Brazilian footballer, Edison Arantes do Nascimento" , "Brazilian said to be the best footballer ever" , "Footballing legend, aka Edison Arantes do Nascimento" , "great forward" , "Brazilian footballer, scored over 1000 goals" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and the L.A. Times Daily.
