Marinaldo Cícero da Silva

Marinaldo Cicero da Silva, better known as Chumbinho, fascinates me precisely because the spotlight never quite found him. Hailing from Sao Paulo state and standing only 174 cm, he carved out a professional career in the most ruthlessly competitive football nation on earth. Nicknames like Chumbinho often attach to smaller players, and I imagine he survived on guile and technique long before he survived on reputation. There is real honor in simply enduring among Brazil's endless conveyor belt of talent. I have a soft spot for the unsung professionals who keep the game running, and he earns my quiet applause.
