Didi (footballer)
Waldyr Pereira (8 October 1928 – 12 May 2001), nicknamed Didi (Portuguese pronunciation: [dʒiˈdʒi]), was a Brazilian footballer who played midfielder. He played in three FIFA World Cups (1954, 1958, and 1962), winning the latter two and was named the tournament's best player in 1958.
Didi is considered to be one of the greatest midfielders in the sport renowned for his range of passing, stamina and technique. He became famous for inventing the folha seca (dry leaf) free kicks, notably used by modern day players such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Juninho, where the ball would swerve downward unexpectedly at a point resulting in a goal.
Career
Born in Rio de Janeiro, he nearly had his right leg amputated when he was 14 due to a severe infection. He recovered and played for some clubs in Campos dos Goytacazes. He became professional playing for Americano de Campos. He came to prominence when he joined Fluminense in 1949. During seven seasons with the club he won the Campeonato carioca in 1951 and 1952 Copa Rio.

Today
by: CatsYou were mine for so long and your love was so strong
And today I hear the church bells ringing but they don't ring for me
I was yours that was true
All my love was for you
And today I hear the coir singing but they don't sing for me
I see your face, your lovely face as you pass me by
Don't look away, you can look at me
You will never see me cry
In my dreams, I could say, "Lie today, you and me"
And today I hear your lovely voice, as you say, "Yes, I will"
Don't look back at a broken heart
I still hear you say, "It was alright that we broke apart"
Do you feel the same today?
But today I hear your lovely voice, as you say, "Yes, I will"
