Football is the most popular spectator sport in the world and Brazil is arguably the greatest footballing nation in the world, having won five times in the World Cup. Even people who are not keen on football may have heard of Pele, who is often considered the world’s greatest player. However, how many football fans are familiar with Charles Miller and his contribution to what Pele called "the beautiful game"?
Known as the father of Brazilian football, Charles Miller was born on 24 November, 1874, in Sao Paulo to a Scottish father and Brazilian mother. In 1884, he was sent to school in England, where he learned to play both football and cricket. Miller became skilled in running with the ball, heading and taking free kicks.
In 1894, Miller returned to Brazil with two balls and a copy of rules of football. The Sflo Paulo Athletic Club(SPAC)had been formed in 1888 by a group of British men who played mainly cricket. Miller persuaded them to take up football. He was also instrumental in setting up the Liga Paulista, the first football league in Brazil. Over the first 20 years of the next century, state championships were formed throughout Brazil and in 1914 the first national side played against Argentina.
Miller was not only a great player, but also an excellent coach and administrator. In Brazil, he spent a lot of time and effort teaching and coaching Brazilians. After retiring as a player, he continued to be a referee until the age of 50.
When football became professional in Brazil in 1933, Miller was disappointed and decided to have no more contact with the game. He felt that sportspeople should be amateurs—he didn’t like the introduction of money and business into sport. For Miller, football was a game, and about participation and doing your best, not money.
Charles Miller’s memory lives on in the skillful individual game which is Brazilian football. It is also kept alive in another way. When the Sflo Paulo sports writers association brought out a dictionary of football terms in Portuguese, only one word survived from the vocabulary of the past: the charles or chaleira. Named after Charles Miller, it is a clever pass with the heel of the foot. The exciting ball skills of all the great Brazilian players, including Pele, owe something to the pioneering spirit of Charles Miller and his passion for the game of football. [br] The best title of the passage should be______.
