Garrincha
Garrincha (1933–1983), Brazil's right winger and dribbler, who won the 1958 and 1962 World Cups alongside Pelé.
Manuel Francisco dos Santos, known as Garrincha, was a right winger famous for his dribbling. He and Pelé both made their World Cup debuts against the Soviet Union in 1958. When Pelé was injured in 1962, Garrincha led Brazil to the title and was the tournament's best player and joint top scorer. Brazil never lost a match in which both of them played.
