Brazil: 25 years without Garrincha

Categories: Latin America, Brazil, Sport

Brazil remembered this Sunday the 25th anniversary of Manuel Francisco dos Santos's death. Better known by the nickname “Garrincha [1]“, he was an outstanding Brazilian football player who helped Brazil national team to win the World Cups of 1958 and 1962. Marcos Tchôla [2] [pt] finds rare videos to pay homage to him.
