Quiz footballer Pele

His name is synonymous with football.

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, famously known as Pele, is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time.

The Brazilian-born star is a veteran of four World Cups with a strike rate of one goal in every international game that he played.

In all, Pele put more than 1200 balls into the back of the net during a career that spanned two decades and ended with American club New York Cosmos in 1977.

The retirement of Pele and other great players of the era saw the game's popularity gradually wane in the United States to the point that Cosmos, the most glamorous club in the U.S., folded in 1984.

Twenty-five years on, Pele is back serving as the club's honorary President, spearheading its revival.

Becky Anderson will be talking to this giant of the sport on Monday about New York Cosmos's first game in a quarter of a century against Britain's Manchester United.

Quiz award winning author Jeffrey Archer

Jeffrey Archer is one of the world's most successful writers, having sold more than 350million books in 97 countries and in over 37 languages around the world.

But more than that, the British novelist is himself a great story.

He is also a playwright, a former parliamentarian and London mayor candidate, a champion athlete and a convicted criminal.

Archer's rise to international fame began with his first novel "Not A Penny More, Not A Penny Less" written in 1975 to repay creditors from a bad investment that left him on the brink of bankruptcy. It defied the critics and became a best-seller.

In the past 36 years, he has gone on to write a series of novels, plays and short stories including "The Prison Diaries" series written during his two year stint in jail following convictions for perjury and perverting the course of justice during a 1987 libel case against British tabloid "The Daily Star".

Archer has now just finished penning his 16th novel Only Time Will Tell, the first in a proposed series known as The Clifton Chronicles.
