Joel Antônio Martins

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joel Antônio Martins (November 23, 1931 - January 1, 2003) was a Brazilian football winger.

He was born in Rio de Janeiro.

Joel was discovered by Botafogo when he was 17 years old, in 1948. Two years later, however, he moved to Flamengo where he won the Rio State Championship for three times in a row (1953, 1954, 1955).

Joel had caps for Brazil between 1957 and 1961. He was in the starting line-up on the first two matches of 1958 FIFA World Cup, but then he went to the bench replaced by Garrincha, just like his Flamengo's teammate Dida was replaced by Pelé.
