The former goalkeeper Edinho, who played for Santos and Ponte Preta, turns 55 years old this Wednesday. Son of the King Pelé, Edinho was honored by Peixe on social media.

"Today is the day to honor the one who honored the Sacred Mantle under the goalposts. Fate wanted the son of our eternal King Pelé to become a goalkeeper, the position most punished by his father. "The warrior prince who defends the goal" wrote his own black and white story and left his mark boasting the shield that was born on his chest. He played 195 matches for Santos FC, with remarkable performances and exemplary dedication. Black and White greetings to the birthday boy Edinho", Peixe posted.
