Manuel Francisco dos Santos was a soccer player from 50s and 60s. Like all Brazilian soccer stars, he was known by his nickname - Garrincha (a little bird). He was also called Alegria do Povo (Joy of the People). He was a colourful and naive character, with hundreds of stories attributed to him – a sort of soccer version of Babe Ruth.
