Luís Carlos Nunes da Silva, nicknamed Carlinhos (19 November 1937 – 22 June 2015), played for Flamengo between 1958 and 1969.
He was one of the few players to receive the Belfort Duarte Trophy ("fair play award") from the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF).
Four years later, he was back at Flamengo when former coach Antônio Lopes was fired for the bad results in the 1987 Rio State Championship finals.
Zico, the main star of the club, still recovering from several knee surgeries, wasn't at his top form.
Carlinhos, with a little luck and much knowledge of the ways of the football, mixed veterans and newcomers to create a very competitive team, that won the 1987 Copa União.
