The legs angel pies

Garrincha was the hero in winning the football World Cup of 1958




The right leg 6 cm shorter than the left has never been an obstacle to the footballer Manuel Francisco dos Santos, Garrincha. Known for his dribbles was considered by some the greatest football player of all time.

Natural Magé, Rio de Janeiro, the nickname Garrincha was placed by his sister. She made an association with the name of a bird of the same name very common in the region. Even the Brazilian national team, the player never abandoned his irreverent way of playing. Returned to dribble the opposing player just for fun.

Garrincha played most of his professional life in Botafogo, but went through clubs like Flamengo, Sport Club Corinthians Paulista and Pottery. Garrincha died at age 49 on January 20, 1983, a victim of liver cirrhosis, having been concealed in a coffin under the banner of Botafogo.
