Brazil legend Pele is to auction off a vast collection of memorabilia accumulated throughout his illustrious career.
The three-time World Cup winner will put over 2,000 items under the hammer in London next month.
Pele's medals from those World Cup triumphs will be included, as will a one-off Jules Rimet trophy made for the former striker after Brazil's success in Mexico in 1970.
"It was a difficult decision to make but it takes a lot to properly care for these artefacts," Pele, 75, said.
"And I felt I could do much more good by sharing these items with the world, as well as helping my causes that are important to me."
Beverly Hills-based auction house Julien Auctions will handle the sale – which runs for three days from June 7 – with a portion of the proceeds to be donated to charity.
"I have decided to allow fans and collectors to own a piece of my history as well," Pele added.
"I hope they treasure these artefacts and share my story with their children and generations to come."
