About a famous sportsperson:
Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, born 25 January 1942 commonly known simply as Eusébio, is a retired Portuguese football forward.
He is considered one of the best footballers of all-time, by the IFFHS*.
He helped the Portuguese national team reach third place at the 1966 World Cup, being the top goalscorer of the tournament with nine goals (six of which were scored at Goodison Park) and was elected the European Footballer of the Year in 1965.
He played for Benfica for 15 years, and is the team's all-time top scorer.
About his family
He has a mother e father and a brother.
Early years and education
He moved to Lisbon in his late teens, after joining Benfica as an 18-year-old from his local club, Sporting Club of Lourenço Marques.
Benfica discovered Eusébio due to the efforts of former Brazilian player José Carlos Bauer, who saw him in Lourenço Marques in 1960. Eusébio could run the 100m in 11 seconds. Bauer recommended Eusébio first to his former club, São Paulo, but the Tricolor turned him down. Bauer then discussed Eusébio with his former coach in São Paulo, Béla Guttmann, who was coaching Benfica at the time.
First experience of sport
Eusébio used to play in Sporting's feeder club in Mozambique. Benfica wanted to pay Eusébio in a contract to go while Sporting wanted to take him [to Portugal] as a junior player for the experience with no monetary reward. Benfica made a nice approach. They went to speak to his mum, his brother, and offered €1,000 for three years. His brother asked for double and they paid it. They signed the contract with his mother and she got the money.
Early successes
Eusébiu Nickname is ‘’The Black Panther", or "The Black Pearl", Eusébio scored 727 goals for Benfica in 715 games
He is also known for his speed and his powerful, accurate right-footed strike. He is considered Benfica's and Portugal's most renowned player and, along with Just Fontaine, one of the first world-class African strikers. He was elected the 9th best footballer of the 20th century in a poll by the IFFHS.[2] Pelé named Eusébio as one of the 125 best living footballers in his 2004 FIFA 100 list.
In November 2003, to celebrate UEFA's Jubilee, he was selected as the Golden Player of Portugal by the Portuguese Football Federationas their most outstanding player of the past 50 years.
He is the first player to win the European Golden Shoe award.
