643
around this time, pelé was getting ready for his 1000th goal and many journalists were searching for another player who had scored a thousand goals. former austrian player franz "bimbo" binder suggested bican, who he claimed had scored 5000 goals. when reporters asked bican why he hadn't made more of a fuss about his goalscoring feats, he simply said "who'd have believed me if i said i'd scored five times as many goals as pelé?!" however to score this 5000 goals he should have kept an average of 185 goals/year along all his 27 years of career, a fact that would be extremely unlikely to have been unnoticed, so counting league goals bican scored 643.

in one account of the pele myths she is banished from her home in tahiti by her older sister, namakaokaha'i, for creating hot spots and convincing the rest of her family that pele would burn them all. then, pele travels on the canoe honuaiakea to find a new home with her brother kamohoali'i. her mother gave her an egg to take care of and it later hatches into a baby girl who pele names hi'iaka-i-ka-poli-o-pele (hi'iaka in the bosom of pele) or hi'iaka for short. she is her favorite sister and encouraged her to befriend the people of puna. however, when hi'iaka became best friends with a girl named hopoe, pele became jealous of their friendship. pele saw lohiahu, a chief of kaua'i, in a dream and sent hi'iaka to bring him to her in forty days or else she would punish them. when hi'iaka arrives there, lohiahu is dead but she calls upon the power of the sorcery godess uli to revive him. as hi'iaka is on the journey, pele grew impatient and sent a lava flow to hopoe's home before the forty days were up. when hi'iaka returned to hawaii with lohiahu, she saw hopoe covered in stone and knew pele was behind this. hi'iaka spitefully embraced lohiahu in pele's view, which further angered her, and covered lohiahu with lava as well. the sisters saw that their anger led to the two people who meant the most to them being dead, so pele apologetically brought lohiahu back to life and let him decide who he would choose. unfortunately for pele, lohiahu ended up choosing hi'iaka but gave them her blessing regardless.
