Wikipedia notes Pele "began playing for the Brazilian club Santos at age 15" and continued until "after retiring in 1977," a career spanning more than two decades. Browsing by active era sets an athlete alongside the rivals who were competing during the same period.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Motorsport have its own athlete category instead of joining Cycling Disciplines?
Motor racing is motorized rather than human-powered, and is expected to gain substantial future athlete depth of its own.
This subcategory groups athletes who competed as drivers in motor racing, such as NASCAR's stock car series. It is kept as its own category, separate from human-powered racing sports grouped under Cycling Disciplines, because motor racing is a globally major, heavily populated discipline expected to gain substantial future athlete depth, not a thin category padded out for its own sake, even though only one member is live today.
