Actually, I beg to differ - Garincha, for many, many Brazilians, was the best and MVP player of that National team. When Pele got injured and basically didn't play during one of the WC he is credited for, I think it was namely Garincha who carried Brazil to the top.
Pele will remain in history as the most prolific marksman but garincha was the type of player that made all that pele magic possible. Garincha's problem was that he had a weakness for alcohol and women and died poor as a church mouse, pretty young. His faith is one other reason why he is so close to the hearts of most Brazilians. |

 He came from nowhere to Milan and did absolutely nothing! Galliani must have been sick in the head that time
