Valtencir Pereira Senra (11 November 1946 – 17 September 1978), simply known as Valtencir (sometimes spelled as Waltencir), was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a defender.
Capable of playing both as a defender and as a left-back, Valtencir played most of his career at Botafogo, where he made 453 appearances [1] and reached the Brazil national team, playing in a friendly against Argentina on 7 August 1968 and scoring a goal. [2] He was champion of the Taça Brasil and two-time state champion. Some sources claim that he spent time in Venezuelan football in 1976, and in the same year he played for Colorado-PR, the team he played for until 1978. [3] [4]
Valtencir died on 17 September 1978, aged 31, at the Estádio Willie Davids, during the Colorado EC vs. Grêmio Maringá match, after suffering a complete cervical rupture following a knee from player Nivaldo. The knee was accidental and Nivaldo despaired over the move, having to be admitted to a sanatorium. [5]
