Goalkeeper
Goalkeeper's Day is celebrated on April 26th in honor of Aílton Corrêa Arruda, better known as the "Manga goalkeeper", renowned as one of the best goalkeepers in history! Manga was born on April 26, 1937 and played for teams like Sport do Recife (where it all started, actually), Botafogo, Porto Alegre, Coritiba, Grêmio, among others. With so much talent, of course he couldn't help but defend the Brazilian team, in friendlies and World Cups.
The idea of creating National Goalkeeper Day came in 1975, from an initiative by Professors at the School of Education Physics of the Army of Rio de Janeiro, Raul Carlesso and captain Reginaldo Pontes Bielinski. Carlesso was the Brazilian national team's physical trainer during the 1974 World Cup and was the pioneer in developing a special preparation for goalkeepers in Brazil.
