Marcos Evangelista de Morais - Cafu - was born on 7th June 197O.
He is a former professional who had played football for Brazil as a defender.
Widely regarded as one of the greatest full backs of all time, he had been voted into the All-Time Greatest XI as the right full back on his heydays.
As a child, he had been nicknamed, 'Cafu,' in honour of the Brazilian winger Cafuringa.
The legendary player had partaken in three consecutive World Cup finals from 1994. It was a record.
It was a thrilling moment when we saw him holding aloft the 2002 FIFA World Cup Trophy.
The visual of Brazilian captain Cafu standing on top of a precarious, wobbly glass table at the Yokohama stadium while hoisting the 2002 World Cup trophy is universally celebrated as one of football's most enduring images.
The two time World Cup winner says:
"The World Cup is not an exact science. The best do not always win. The champion is not always the best team. It is a sequence of factors that makes you win a World Cup."
If we give it some deep thought we could realise it is the exact replica of real life or the life around us.
It is indeed a sequence of factors. not at all premeditated, that pull us on, that push us to wherever we reach.
We can also see that we have no control over those factors that take us so far.
Life is inexplicable.
