Career
Born in Bauru, Washington was a standout youth player who was compared to Pelé after his performance for the Brazilian national youth team in a 1972 tournament in Cannes.[2] His professional career did not match this early success, but he played for the Brazil national Olympic team in 1972,[3][4] and for a number of professional teams including Corinthians and Guarani.[2]
