Gérson
Gérson, full name Gérson de Oliveira Nunes, (born January 11, 1941) is a Brazilian footballer who played for Brazil in the 1966 and 1970 FIFA World Cups.Domestically, Gérson played for Flamengo, Botafogo, São Paulo FC and Fluminense.
Gérson is considered one of the best passers in World Cup history. Although he didn't play well in 1966, he was the mastermind behind the whole Brazilian national team in the 1970 tournament. He is regarded as the best passer and midfielder in that Cup and the best player in the final against Italy. Overall, he played 70 times, scoring 14 goals for his country.
Gérson had his name unfortunately associated with the infamous Gérson's law (lei do Gérson in Portuguese). He starred in a cigarrete advertising campaign in the 70's which had a tagline I like to take advantage on everything and became a codeword for the traditional Brazilian disregard for the law. He later repudiated the sentiment.
Recently Gérson expressed anger at Pelé for not including him in the FIFA 100 list of the 125 Greatest Living Footballers.
