Antonio Carlos Pecorari (born February 1, 1962), commonly known as Tatu, is a former Brazilian football (soccer) player, one of the most accomplished indoor soccer players of all time. ==Player== Tatu came to the United States after playing with São Paulo in 1981. He had intended to play for several months, earning enough money to buy a house in São Paulo.〔 Tatu signed with the Tampa Bay Rowdies of the NASL during the 1981-82 indoor season and scored a hat trick in his first appearance even though he hadn't yet had the opportunity to practice with his new club.〔 He quickly became a fan favorite while playing several more outdoor and indoor seasons in Tampa Bay.〔 He was a member of the Rowdies when they won the 1983 NASL Grand Prix of Indoor Soccer. The NASL folded 1984, and Tatu moved to the Dallas Sidekicks of Major Indoor Soccer League. When Tatu moved to Dallas, the Cleveland Force sued the Sidekicks, arguing they had an agreement with him to purchase his contract from the Rowdies. The Sidekicks eventually gave the Force their second round 1985 draft choice. As a Dallas Sidekick he was a part of all four Sidekick's championship teams (1987, 1993, 1998, 2001). From 1984 until 1992, the Sidekicks played in MISL. The league collapsed in 1992 and Dallas moved to the newly created Continental Indoor Soccer League until that league also collapsed in 1997. The CISL played during the summer and Tatu spent the 1993-1994 indoor season with the Wichita Wings of the National Professional Soccer League.〔 In 1998, the Sidekicks competed in the Premier Soccer Alliance. The PSA became the World Indoor Soccer League in 1999. In 2002, Dallas entered the newly reconstituted Major Indoor Soccer League. 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「Tatu (soccer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
