dear all,

what they really meant was the eighth wonder! for his sake we can even pass
up the english infatuation with a royal-manqué...

Time for another dribble down memory lane, this time with Garrincha opening
his box of tricks <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_V6y5P050M>. This is the
man voted the second best player in Brazilian history after Pele and
the *eighth
best* of all time by Fifa. We'd like to see Cristiano Ronaldo do a stepover
with a deformed spine, his right leg bent inwards and his left leg six
centimetres shorter and curved outwards. I don't think so. When you watch
this you can see why he was sometimes called *Alegria do Povo* ("Joy of the
People"). See how much he meant by watching his Diana-esque funeral in 1983
