Career
Born in Curitiba, he played for Britânia, and after the club's merger, for EC Pinheiros. He had a quick spell at Atlântico in Erechim and then arrived at Ponte Preta, the club where he made history and is considered one of the greatest players of all time.[1] For the Campinas club, he won the Silver Ball in 1978.[2] He later played for Portuguesa, Bangu, where he was Brazilian runner-up in 1985, and Santa Cruz, being state champion in 1986. Odirlei even refused to play for the Brazil national football team in the 80s.[3][4]
