Jadyr Egídio de Souza (9 April 1930 – 13 August 1977), known as Jadir or Jadyr, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a defender.[1] [2] He played most of his career at Flamengo, where he is one of the most capped players in the club's history.
Jadir is bet known for his time spent at Flamengo, playing alongside Dequinha and Jordan in the defense that captured three consecutive Campeonato Carioca titles - 1953-54-55.
