I did some research and found some cool info about the guy I was named after. First of all homeboy was black! Now ya'll know where I get it from! mmm mmm mmm! He has a tight fro though, go ahead boy!

Clodoaldo Tavares de Santana , best known as Clodoaldo (born September 26, 1949 in Aracaju) was a football (soccer) player from Brazil, known as one of the most agile players and best dribblers ever. The light, fast, and dexterous player of average height was either fielded in an offensive or defensive midfield role with both Santos Futebol Clube and the Brazilian national team, for which he was capped 69 times (40 officially) between 1969 and 1974, scoring a total of 3 goals. He was part of the Brazil squad that won the Football World Cup 1970, having himself contributed to the famous goal by Carlos Alberto Torres against Italy in the final: Clodoaldo dribbled past four of the opposition's players on his own half before starting a series of passes that ended in the goal. Earlier that game, an attempted back-heel intercepted by the Italians led to their scoring the equalising goal.
