description: "Humberto Carlos Nelson Cruz Silva is a Chilean retired footballer that played in two FIFA World Cups as centre-back, despite his short height. He also has been a close friend of Pelé since they played against each other in the 1960s. According to Pelé, Cruz was one of his best markers and in several interviews he has mentioned the classic moment when Cruz pulled down his pants so he wouldn't elude him. His nickname is after Cheeta, Tarzan's ape companion."
