Eduardo Gonçalves de Andrade (born 25 January 1947), generally known as Tostão (Brazilian Portuguese: [tosˈtɐ̃w̃]), is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a forward or attacking midfielder and was a physician.
Tostão was an intelligent, hardworking and prolific left-footed forward, who was known for his creativity and technical skills, and was considered one of the best players in the world in his prime and arguably the best player in the world in the early 70s alongside Cruyff before health problems forced his early retirement. Tostão was widely considered at the time the second best or even the best Brazilian player in the late 60s alongside Pelé, even ahead of other stars that would be part of the legendary 1970 Brazil squad. He played most of his 11-year career with Cruzeiro.
