Garrincha : the triumph and tragedy of Brazil's forgotten footballing hero
Castro, Ruy, 1948-2004
Books
Garrincha was the unlikeliest of footballers - with grotesquely deformed legs, he looked as if he could barely walk, but with a ball at his feet he had the poise of an angel. With his inventiveness, impertinence, and sheer brilliance, he was an architect of the footballing magic that we now associate with Brazil's 'beautiful game'.
