    MANUEL FRANCISCO DOS SANTOS KNOW AS GARRINCHA

    Mane Garrincha
    Born Manuel Francisco dos Santos, Garrincha was a Brazilian soccer
    player who played on the right wing. He is a professional player and is
    considered one of the best players. Others recognize him for his
    exceptional dribbling skills. His skills were recognized worldwide in
    Brazil's victories in the 1958 and 1962 World Cups.

    For example, Pelé was injured in the 1962 World Cup and Garrincha took
    his place, leading Brazil to victory. Garrincha had the congenital
    disability of a deformed spine, and one leg was shorter than the other.
    This made the right leg point inwards while the other one pointed
    outwards.
    Despite this flaw, he was still a good player, and the performance he
    offered on the field earned him many awards. Many European teams
    tried to sign him once he became famous. All of this is due to his great
    dedication and a level of skill that is difficult to match.
