CNNSI.com - 2002 World Cup - World Cup Hall of Fame: Leonidas - Wednesday May 08, 2002 01:50 PM (284 words)
An incredibly agile forward, Leonidas is credited with having the invented the bicycle kick, which he showed off on his Brazilian debut against Uruguay in 1932 with two goals.
Leonidas' tricks and ball skills amazed Europeans when he came to Europe for the 1934 finals in Italy, but an unforgiving knockout format meant the Brazilians' stay was short.
Brazil was beaten 2-1 by the defending champion, and Leonidas instead was fresh for the third-place playoff against Sweden in which he scored twice in a 4-2 win to finish with eight goals for the competition.
