## Bio

Manuel Francisco dos Santos was born 28 October 1933, a right winger who'd become known as Garrincha and later Alegria do Povo — the People's Joy. He spent most of his career at Botafogo, but the world saw him in 1958 and 1962, when he helped Brazil win back-to-back World Cups. The second time was his alone: Pelé went down early and Garrincha dominated from the wing, finishing as top scorer and player of the tournament. Brazilians called him Anjo de Pernas Tortas, the Bent-Legged Angel, and credited him with bringing the bullfighting olé chant to football. He came seventh in FIFA's Player of the Century vote in 1999, sixteen years after his death on 20 January 1983.
