    Thanks guys :tup:, CK interesting that it's a myth, you wonder then if he was allowed to leave then why didn't he go at some point? I suppose Brazilian football was at a pretty high standard in the '60s, but would have been nice to see him in Europe, and playing for us too :D We tried to buy...
