Remember Tele Santana?
He coached one of the best Brazilian World Cup Squads in 1982 and 1986 FIFA World Cup. Somehow this name came in my mind out of memory and I searched him in wikipedia. Found..he died very recently: April 21, 2006.

Good old days. The Brazil - France match of 1986 seems such a long way away from the recent one.
