Tend to agree, he played in a Brazil team that was head and shoulders above everyone else unless you hacked them down, which became the go to for teams to compete in the end. He was a fabulous player but I’m not convinced that he was any better and maybe not even as good as the ones you mention...
Can’t go out without a walking frame and is so embarrassed that he tries not to go out at all, according to his son. So sad
