Is he the one that died in destitution?

@ChairmanDan @Biff_Egan must get this book. Had read somewhere about the losing the virginity to a goat alright. Mental!
Garrincha who apparently had sexual intercourse with a goat in his youth.

He was already a seasoned alcoholic by then too.
He was pissed going out to play the 1958 World Cup Final against Sweden. Delivered a man of the match performance, terrorising the Swedes. Was wandering around the dressing room afterwards asking who Brazil were playing in their next game.

A great man, ahead of his time. Jesus some life, the best life any young fella could have…before the real stupid money came in and stupified fellas. What a fuckin player. A legend who possibly somewhat lived in his community.
The real best ever apparently, club foot, riddled with rickets and completely one footed but most Brazilians of the time say the best. The peoples game.
Professional soccer is the clearest, cleanest meritocracy there has ever been.
