Jairzinho, birth name Jair Ventura Filho, (born December 25, 1944) was a member of the Brazilian national team that won the 1970 World Cup. He is the only player to have scored in every game of a World Cup finals, a feat he achieved in 1970. However, his seven goals at those finals were not enough to win the Golden Boot, which went to West Germany's Gerd Müller, who scored ten goals.

Jairzinho made his professional debut with Rio de Janeiro club Botafogo as a left winger at the age of 15. His hero Garrincha, whom he would eventually replace for both club and country also played there. Jairzinho spent most of his early games playing on the left or as a centre forward. However, when Garrincha was injured he filled in as a right winger, which was by far his strongest position.

Jairzinho made his international debut as a 19 year old in 1964 against Portugal, again when Garrincha was injured. He played in the 1966 World Cup in England, however, and with Garrincha back in the side, he played as a left winger and struggled to be effective. Jairzinho, with Garrincha retired from international football, played as a right winger in 1970, and revealed his talent to the world. Unsurprisingly, following his display in Mexico Jairzinho moved to Europe to play for French side Marseille.

Jairzinho finished his career playing for Portuguesa in Venezuela. Following his retirement Jairzinho became a coach and coached the Gabon national team. However, Jairzinho was sacked by Gabon's Football Federation after a crushing defeat against Angola in a World Cup 2006 Qualifier held in Luanda. Perhaps his greatest achievement as a coach was spotting Ronaldo as a 14 year old whilst he was coaching São Cristóvão.
