Excerpt: Senior club appearances and goalscounted for the domestic
league only.* Appearances (Goals) Carlos Alberto Torres (born July
17, 1944, Rio de Janeiro) is a former Brazilian footballer, one of
the most highly regarded defenders of all time. He captained Brazil
to victory in the 1970 World Cup and is a member of the World Team
of the 20th Century, as well as the U.S. National Soccer Hall of
