Rest in peace sir

Could it be that his name was given to the spectacular swing of turning around and kicking the ball over one's head famously called "Sangallo" while we were growing up?

One of the greatest from Brazil. Very sad.

Very popular with the bicycle kick. Nigerians in those days corrupted his nsme, calling him Zangalo. Each tine a footballer either attempted or scored with a bicycle kick, people screamed ZANGALOOOOO!

Rest on old man.

Goal tactic actually. That bicycle kick by Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Rooney and lately Garnacho. Na Zagallo goal be that.

He didn’t popularise it , he created. It was his personal style before others started to copy it. And it's not 'back kick" it's 'banana kick:
