Icon of person Mantorras

Pedro Manuel Torres (born 18 March 1982), known as Mantorras, is an Angolan former professional footballer who played as a striker. His nickname derives from the fact that, as a child, he suffered slight accidental burns, being then known as "Mantorras" from the Angolan expression "Mano Torras," which means "toasted brother". His professional career, mainly spent with Benfica, was blighted by constant injury problems which cause him to retire at just 30 years old. Mantorras played for Angola in the 2000s, representing the nation at the 2006 World Cup and two Africa Cup of Nations tournaments. Read more on Wikipedia
