Clodoaldo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clodoaldo Tavares de Santana , best known as Clodoaldo (born September 26, 1949 in Aracaju) was a football (soccer) player from Brazil, known as one of the most agile players and best dribblers ever. The light, fast, and dexterous player of average height was either fielded in an offensive or defensive midfield role with both Santos Futebol Clube and the Brazilian national team, for which he was capped 69 times (40 officially) between 1969 and 1974, scoring a total of 3 goals. He won the Football World Cup 1970, having contributed to the famous 'long shot' goal by Carlos Alberto Torres by dribbling past five of the opposition's players before giving a 'through pass' to the goal scorer. Earlier that game, an attempted back-heel intercepted by the Italians led to their scoring the equalising goal.
