Garrincha. L’angelo dalle gambe storte

The true story of Manoel Francisco Dos Santos, best known as Garrincha (“Sparrow”): although he had several defects caused by poliomyelitis (his spine was deformed, his right leg bent outwards and his leftleg was six centimeters shorter and curved inwards) he played three World Cups and became one of the greatest Brazilian football players in history. He became very famous during the Fifties and Sixties for hisdribbling talent and his goals, but the story of his life outside the field is even more interesting.
