Portugal great Coluna dies

Mario Coluna, who captained Benfica to two European Cup wins and Portugal to third place in the 1966 World Cup, has died aged 78 in the Mozambique capital Maputo, his former club announced on Tuesday.
Coluna, who like his legendary teammate Eusebio was born in Mozambique, then a Portuguese colony, had been hospitalised since Sunday because of a "serious lung infection" according to Benfica.
Coluna, who captained a fine Portugal side which included Eusebio and Jose Torres and eventually went out in the semifinals to hosts England in 1966, scored a goal in both the European Cup finals Benfica won in 1961 and 1962.
Aside from those wins, in his 16 seasons with Benfica he also won 10 domestic league crowns and the Portuguese Cup on seven occasions.
