Amarildo though would become quite famous in Italy, playing in Florence. Before a long stint of borders closed to foreign players in Italy, he belonged to a legendary breed of players well remembered, like Sivori, Suarez, Altafini, Charles, Liedholm and many more
There are a lot of football documentary series on Netflix. You would like Becoming Champions. Are you looking forward to the "NAFTA World Cup" in 2026?!?
That was a short but good highlights of 60 years of World Cup memories. Agree 1970 final was the best football quality final. Brazil 1982 team played most likeable football, most dramatic final was in 1966 England-Germany. After watching number of times highlights of 2018 final, still believe that Croatia made quite a tactical mistake in the final. For various reasons not a fan that Qatar is hosting W.C. but will watch it.
It's not Amarildo, it's Garrincha. Garrincha surely has not "quickly descended into obscurity". For years he was second to Pelé as the best Brazilian player ever. Amarildo is not as famous as Garrincha. After the 1962 World Cup he had a succesful time in Italy (AC Milan, Roma, Fiorentina). He came back to Brazil in 1973 and stopped palying soccer in 1974.
The picture is of Amarildo. Obviously, Garrincha never descended into obscurity, but Amarildo did.

Amarildo didn’t descend into obscurity through, he had an excellent career in Italy after 1962 and he won a historical scudetto with Fiorentina
In Firenze he is still a hero
Amarillo... He "born" when The Czechs "Hunt'" Pelé
When did Cameroon play Germany. Except for some groans, Yaoundé was silent. Everyone watched.
Is it Garrincha?
Amarildo.
Still alive!
