Joo Ramos do Nascimento, a centre forward for football who plays for Brazil is also known by his stage name, Dondinho. He was born on October 2, 1917.

He served as Pelé’s father, trainer, and coach. Brazilian football player Pelé Dondinho had just one chance to play for Atlético Mineiro throughout his playing career, but he choose to play for a number of little clubs instead.

He scored lots of goals. Including the 19 goals, he scored in 6 games for Brazil, Dondinho, the father of Pele, scored 893 goals in 775 games. He once used his intellect to score five goals in one game.

The accomplishment of beating his father Don Dinho’s record of five headers in a single game was conspicuously absent from Pele’s excellent football résumé.

“My dad made five header goals. That was a truly wonderful idea. I tried my hardest to beat his record, but I couldn’t.” unfavourable karma
