Superb career. I would certainly sign up to living to 92, assuming reasonable health




It`s bloody tough being a legend

The least celebrated member of an outstanding Brazil forward line consisting of Garrincha, Didi, Vava and Pele. Nicknamed `the ant` because of his high work rate down the left side, Zagallo laid the blueprint for later Brazilians in that position, most notably the truly gifted Rivelino who he managed in 1970.
