Portuguese and Benfica Legend Fernando Chalana nicknamed "Little Genius" has passed away today at 63 years old. Not sure if many know who he is but figured I would do a appreciation post.
Chalana was a diminutive ambidextrous winger who was a nightmare for fullbacks and the idol of guys like Paulo Futre. His peak moment was helping lead Portugal the 1984 Euro semifinals and putting on a show against the eventual winners France. His career was filled with many injuries especially after his move to Bordeaux.
