Pele

Pedro Miguel Cardoso Monteiro (born May 2, 1978) is a footballer from Cape Verdean-Portugal. He is more commonly known as Pedro Pelé, or simply Pelé.

He currently plays for the English Championship team Southampton. He made the move to the Saints from Belenenses for an undisclosed fee, believed to be £1 million, on July 19, 2006. He had attracted the attention of the Premiership sides West Ham United and Portsmouth, Southampton's closest rivals, but Pelé decided to opt for the potential of the Football League side where he is likely to get more games.

On 30 December 2006 he scored his first competitive goal for the Saints against Leicester City. He started the 2006-07 season in his natural central defensive position but was moved into central midfielder recently playing alongside Jermaine Wright for most of the season, moving back into defence to cover for injuries to Darren Powell and Claus Lundekvam .

Pelé has accepted an invitation to play for Cape Verde in the 2008 African Nations Cup qualifiers. He had turned down similar invitations in the past.
