Pele played an astonishing 1115 games for Santos, scoring an incredible 1091 goals in the league. He scored many more in cup competitions and had it not been for the fewer intercontinental tournaments, Pele would have made merry, some more.
During his career at Santos, Pele played alongside half the Brazilian team primarily due to the lack of attraction or money in the European game. Players preferred staying back in Brazil, playing for the adulation of the fans, more than anything else.
Pele played alongside Zito, Pepe and Coutinho in his early days at Santos, taking the team to 8 state titles, 6 national titles, 2 continental cups, 2 intercontinental cups and a host of other tournaments.
The level of club football in Brazil was certainly quite high at the time, but it was never considered as impressive as that in European football. With some of the biggest names of the time plying their trade in Europe, Pele was considered to have played against lesser teams, scoring goals by the hundreds. NFL jerseys
