message: It's a popular legend (at least in the UK) that the stray dog that came onto the pitch in the 1962 WC game between Brazil and England was adopted by Garrincha. See Jimmy Greaves and http://www.garrinchasdog.com/about/ Is there any truth in this legend? Jooler 15:04, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Death

message: I read that his footballing contempories in Brazil described him as child like and that he had a learning difficulties, with a mental age of about 12. This became more of a problem once he had quit the game and he was unable to comprehend the consequences of his actions, such as driving when drunk.
