Confessions of Carlos Kaiser: football’s biggest conman

English
Standfirst: 
He lived the dream as a globetrotting pro for two decades, yet could barely kick a ball. FFT meets the maverick Brazilian who used every trick going to dupe his clubs’ coaches, team-mates and fans 
Feature type: 
Pull quotes: 

Carlos was an adopted child, raised in Rio by his mother, a cook, and his father, who worked for an elevator company

Another role of this ‘vibes-master’ might be to organise parties and women – one of the unofficial roles in which the Kaiser seemed to excel

I started to warm up and the supporters behind the fence began to shout at me. 
I jumped over the fence to fight with the supporters, so I could get sent off and not play

- Carlos Kaiser

Michel Mancini was sporting director of Gazelec from 1976 to 1993, and while he remembers Barros, he has no recollection of the Kaiser

The Kaiser even employed a prop in his subterfuge: 
a clunky, brick-shaped mobile phone he talked on huddled in a corner of the dressing room
