Monday, 27 October, 2025

Manuel Francisco dos Santos, known as "Garrincha," was a legendary Brazilian footballer whose childhood nickname reflects his agile playing style. Despite being born with disabilities in his legs, he became a star at Botafogo and was integral to Brazil's success in the 1958 and 1962 FIFA World Cups. Garrincha's joyful, carefree approach charmed fans and elevated the status of his team. However, fame brought personal challenges, including alcoholism and tumultuous relationships. Despite early promise in the 1966 World Cup, his career declined due to injuries. Garrincha's legacy endures, symbolizing the joyous spirit of football, even amid tragedy.
