#6 Fake Footballer

from Grifter: True Crime · host Sonali Verghese

A Brazilian footballer signs with several top football clubs during his decades-long career. He's charismatic, funny and jovial, and charms everyone he meets. But every time he's asked to play, he mysteriously gets injured and has to stay off the pitch for several weeks. He convinced others of his talents and moved from club to club, avoiding football and partying hard. He was the footballer who never played football - not once - and still got signed. This episode details his incredible story.
