Brentford sign Henke Johansson who has famous granddad

[ClaretTony]

No, I don't know who he is either other than reading that he's an 18-year-old Swedish winger.

But his granddad was the brilliant Brazilian Garrincha.

Isn't his mother called Scarlett ?

If he's anywhere near half as good as his granddad then he's worth signing

Looks like you clicked on the Sun's story, which proves that sensational headlines work.

It was the pictures of the goat that swung it

I actually didn't mean to click it, hence the reason my image is from google and not from the sun's website itself. I was actually pointing out the unfortunate headline the poor Henke is being associated with...

I thought it was going to be Albert Johanneson, but then noticed the slightly different spelling.

An interesting read non-the-less.

A real character was Garrincha 'cos as well as well as the goat incident he also had 14 children or should that be 14 kids by 5 different women.
He was extremely bow legged and he had one knee that went inwards and the other knee went outwards but he was a fabulous winger.

That's it, rub it in. A pacy tricky winger.

You'll have some posters on here doing the other kind of 'dribbling'.

Fairly sure Little Bird was in the Botafogo side which played us in a friendly at the Turf in 1956. We got beat 2-1

That I didn't know but he was without doubt the player who pulled them through to the 1962 World Cup.
