Italy had held Brazil level for twenty-nine minutes of the 1970 final when his left foot broke it in the 66th minute, and five minutes later he floated the free kick Pelé headed down for Jairzinho. The 1970 World Cup, with its Silver Ball and an all-star place, the 1968 Taça Brasil and two Rio championships with Botafogo, two Paulista titles with São Paulo, and 14 goals in 70 games for the country that called him the little golden left foot. Career record: 70 caps and 14 goals for Brazil; club career at Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, Botafogo F.R., São Paulo.
