Jordan da Costa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jordan da Costa, born November 24, 1932 in Rio de Janeiro, was a Brazilian football player.

Considered by Garrincha himself as his best marker, Jordan was never sent off during his almost 14-year-old career. A skillful fullback, he was discovered by São Cristóvão FR in 1949 and three years later signed with Flamengo, where he became an idol, winning Rio State Championship three times in a row (1953-54-55), and the 1961 Rio-São Paulo Tournament.

With 589 matches for Flamengo, Jordan has the fourth-highest number of appearances for the club.
