Marcos Evangelista de Moraes (born June 7, 1970 in São Paulo), better known as Cafu, is a two-time FIFA World Cup winning Brazilian footballer. Cafu is the correct spelling of his name (as opposed to Cafú). He was given this nickname due to his speed up and down the right flank which was reminiscent of Cafuringa, a legendary Brazilian forward from the 1970s. Cafu was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. He is best known for his tireless overlapping runs. As of October 2008 he has yet to find a new club and has stated that he intends to make a final decision on whether to retire completely from football, in January 2009 at the age of 38. |
