Streaming service Netflix have announced they will release a new documentary on Brazilian soccer legend, Pelé (Edson Arantes do Nascimento) at the end of February.
The documentary will look at the star's glittering career, in which he became the only player to win three World Cup titles.
Directed by David Tryhorn and Ben Nicholas, it will feature rare and exclusive footage of Pelé, now 80-years-old, including his own reflections on his life in soccer.

Inclusions from his Santos Futebol Club team-mates and players from the Brazilian national team also feature, with Mário Zagallo, Amarildo and Jairzinho all having their say. Pelé's family, journalists and other personalities also speak about the impact Pelé had on soccer, Brazil and the world.
Netflix released the documentary's promo video on their UK & Ireland Twitter account earlier today, showing some of Pelé most iconic goals.
The Netflix Original documentary will be available to watch on the streaming service in Ireland from February 23rd.
