Vagno Célio do Nascimento Silva (born 20 May 1968 in Miracema, RJ, Brazil) is a football defender, who retired from professional football in 2003.
He was nicknamed by fans "O Canhão do Brasileirão" (The Cannon of the Brazilian Championship) for his extremely potent right-foot shot. One of his shots was measured at 136 km/h (84.5 mph) during a test organized by Globo Esporte.[1]
Playing career
Revealed in the small Americano - RJ in 1986, he won the Brazilian Championship playing for Vasco da Gama in 1989.
He got famous after scoring the goal (shooting a penalty) that gave the Copa do Brasil (Cup of Brazil) title for Internacional - RS at 1992.
The defender also played for Flamengo, Atlético Mineiro and Universidad Católica de Chile, between others. But it was in Corinthians that he achieved more titles in his career.
While at Corinthians, Célio Silva agreed a £4m move to Premier League champions Manchester United in July 1997. However, United couldn't obtain a work permit, as the Home Office claimed that, despite Silva being a regular for Brazil for the past two years, he hadn't played enough matches for Brazil, and the move fell through.[2] United bought Henning Berg instead.[3]
He joined Brazil national football team in 11 matches, winning the Copa América title in 1997.
