Trivia and Facts-Part 43

 1-For the 1958 World Cup, the Brazilian National Team had a psychologist as part of its staff.

As part of his analysis, Dr. Joao Carvalhaes had asked each player to draw a human figure. Based upon the results of this test, he would recommend which players should be selected and which position would be more suitable (for example, for poor drawings, the given player should be confined to the wings).

Pele and Garrincha’s drawings were so poor and rudimentary that he recommended that they should not play at all.

Thankfully, Brazil’s Management ignored his recommendation.

The controversy surrounded the conflict of interest (even though the teams were in different divisions), as well as the cost associated with this in mind. Oxford United Manager Mark Lawrenson resigned after a dispute with his Chairman over this move.
