African-born Portuguese soccer player Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, aka the Black Panther, has died of a heart attack at age 71.
He was one of soccer's greats in the 1960s. Like many of his era, he played his latter years in the NASL, scoring the winning goal for Toronto Metros-Croatia in the 1976 NASL Championship.
