Eusébio da Silva Ferreira

Eusébio, (born January 25, 1942 in Lourenço Marques [now Maputo], Mozambique) nicknamed "The Black Pearl" and "The Black Panther", is a Portuguese football icon. He is considered to be one of the best of his time and is unarguably one of the all-time great players. His trademarks were his speed (he was the under-19 Portuguese champion of 400, 200 and 100 m races), quick dribble and a fierce, tremendously accurate right-footed strike.
