Walter Cesar Nogueira da Silva (12 January 1942 – 21 May 2009)[1] was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a striker. Active primarily in South Africa – scoring a total of 162 goals for Highlands Park, Powerlines, Hellenic and Berea Park[2] – Da Silva was also a football manager, and had coached Orlando Pirates, Kaizer Chiefs and Moroka Swallows.[2] [3]
In November 1999, while managing Moroka Swallows, two supporters decided to kidnap da Silva and escaped with him, forcing the Brazilian to make a phone call to his assistants ahead of a game against Bush Bucks, asking them to leave the stadium.[4] [5]
