Mário Coluna

Benfica's Mozambique-born captain through the club's 1960s peak, Coluna was the senior figure who looked after a young Eusébio when he arrived in Lisbon from the same country, and he led Portugal to third at the 1966 World Cup. Benfica people called him the Sacred Monster for his authority in midfield. His role as mentor and organiser is why he is remembered alongside the European Cups.
