Marcos

Marcos is a name that lands differently depending on whether you watched the 2002 World Cup. To me he is one of football's great underdog stories, the goalkeeper many doubted who ended up lifting the trophy for Brazil that summer. Pundits regularly rank him among the greatest Brazilian keepers ever, which is no small thing in a country obsessed with attacking flair rather than the man in gloves. Standing 193 cm, he had the frame to dominate his box, and his loyalty to a single club over his career always read to me as old-fashioned in the best way. A São Paulo product who quietly earned his legend.
