Pretty sure he was born in 1931 and not 1939. He played for Sport from 1952-1960 which makes a lot more sense as a 21-29 year old and not a 13-21 year old.

I also couldn't agree with the birth year; the forum says he was a very good player despite being very young, but I don't believe that's the case. However, I eventually found out that he was indeed born in 1931. Thank you, updated
