Altair Gomes de Figueiredo, usually referred to as Altair (January 22, 1938 – August 9, 2019),[1][2] was a football defender and a World Champion for Brazil in the 1962 World Cup.[3]

He spent his entire career at Fluminense, for which he played 551 games, scoring twice. He was called “magro” (slim) because he was skinny and despite his modest physical appearance, was a tough tackler and tremendous marker. His duels with Garrincha were legendary. He retired from playing in 1971 aged 33.
