Manuel Francisco dos Santos (28 October 1933 – 20 January 1983), known by the nickname Garrincha ((:ɡaˈʁĩʃɐ), "little bird"),〔(【引用サイトリンク】 work=Reuters article on rediff.com )〕 was a Brazilian footballer who played right winger and forward. He is regarded by many in the sport to be the best dribbler in football history. The word ''garrincha'' itself means wren. Garrincha was also known as Mané (short for ''Manuel'') by his friends. The combined ''Mané Garrincha'' is common among fans in Brazil. Due to his immense popularity in Brazil, he was also called ''Alegria do Povo'' (People's Joy) and ''Anjo de Pernas Tortas'' (Bent-Legged Angel).〔 In 1958 and 1962, Garrincha won the FIFA World Cup with the Brazil national team. At the 1962 tournament, with Pelé out injured, he led the team to victory, received the World Cup Golden Ball for player of the tournament, the Golden Boot as leading goalscorer, and was named in the World Cup All-Star Team. In 1994 he was named in the FIFA World Cup All-Time Team. Brazil never lost a match while fielding both Garrincha and Pelé.〔("Remembering the genius of Garrincha" ). BBC. Retrieved 8 December 2013〕 At club level, Garrincha played the majority of his professional career for the Brazilian team Botafogo. In the Maracanã the home team room is known as "Garrincha".〔("Garrincha, the never forgotten genius of Brazilian football" ). World Soccer.〕 In the capital Brasília, the Estádio Nacional Mané Garrincha is named after him. He is credited for inspiring the first bullfighting chants of olé to be used at football grounds.〔Roy Castro (2013). "Garrincha: The Triumph and Tragedy of Brazil's Forgotten Footballing Hero" p.89. Random House〕 In 1999, he came seventh in the FIFA Player of the Century grand jury vote. He is a member of the World Team of the 20th Century, and was inducted into the Brazilian Football Hall of Fame.〔(World All-Time Teams ). Rsssf.com. Retrieved 9 May 2014〕 == Early life == Garrincha was born in Pau Grande, a district of Magé, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, in 1933. His father was an alcoholic, drinking cachaça heavily, a problem which Garrincha would inherit. He had several birth defects: his spine was deformed, his right leg bent outwards and his left leg was six centimeters shorter and curved inwards, none of which impeded his ability to play football at the highest level. A boy with a carefree attitude, he was smaller than other kids his age, with his sister Rosa noticing he was as small as a little bird she started calling him Garrincha, the north-eastern name for the wren, a little brown bird.〔Ruy Castro. P. 19〕 The name stuck and by the age of four years old he was known as Garrincha to his family and friends.〔 Garrincha was known amongst footballing scouts but did not arrive in professional football until his late teens; he had no interest in a professional career despite his immense talent. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Garrincha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
