Flávio’s life totally changed at 20 years old. A founding member of the Juventude Esporte Clube, a team of Fortaleza, the fifth largest city in Brazil, the defender midfielder lost sight of his right eye after suffering from severely mistimed tackle in a game in 1989. A year later, blindness affected the other eye. His world fell, but football brought him back to life.
A passionate fan, Flávio Aurelio Silva has not resigned from Juventude. He started working at the board, as a kind of handyman. He scheduled matches, prepared the uniforms and motivated players. But, in 2005, the team coach retired. Who would be the right man to take charge? The Blind Boss, called Ceguim (Little blind man). And thus began his curious story, unique in Brazil.
