5 Players who won a World Cup despite putting in questionable contributions

Colombia v England: Round of 16 - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia

3. Jair Marinho – Brazil

Though Brazil has bagged the World Cup five times, yet we cannot overlook upon the fact that there are few players from Brazil that fits our list. Here, we would like to mention Jair Marinho who was a part of the Brazil squad in World Cup 1962.

In the World Cup, he played as backup right-back to Djalma Santos. Compared to Fluminense and Corinthians, he was pretty average and did not feature in the 1962 World Cup. Thus, we have him on the list.
