Manuel Francisco dos Santos (28 October 1933 – 20 January 1983), known as Mané Garrincha or Garrincha (a Brazilian word meaning "little bird"), was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a winger, predominantly for Botafogo.
He is widely regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, and by many, one of the greatest dribblers ever.
