Adalberto Kretzer (19 March 1948 – 24 August 2024), better known as Mickey, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward.[1][2][3][4]
Formed at Joinville-based Caxias, became a hero at Fluminense, when he was featured in the final games of the 1970 Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa and scored his team's winning goals on two matches. The nickname "Mickey" came from the size of his ears. He was called "the peace and love scorer", as he celebrated goals by making a "V" with his fingers.[5]
