The Late Late Show

PELE

He is hailed quite simply as the greatest footballer in the world. Although christened Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, he is known across the world under a very different name - simply Pele. He spoke to Pat about how he was plucked from poverty at 11-years-old and by the age of 17 had become a world cup footballing legend. Pele has just released his autobiography entitled Pele.

WHY MEN CHEAT

70 per cent of men cheat on their wives according to Ruth Houston, an Amercian who has spent over a decade researching the phenomenon. Ruth was part of panel who discussed the issue which included Peader De Burca, who has researched the subject for his play 'Why Men Cheat'; Marguerite McDaid former wife of Fianna Fail's Dr Jim McDaid, who has written extensively about her own personal experience of infidelity; and Ian O'Doherty, columnist with the Irish Independent who questioned the paranoia of some of the contributors.

Ruth Houstons book 'Is He Cheating on You? - 829 Telltale Signs' is available from her website www.infidelityadvice.com
