He moved to the Rio de Janeiro club Vasco da Gama in 1952, aged 17, and made his mark by scoring the goal on his d?t that won Vasco the state championship. He also became known as “The Lion of Brazil” after playing on with a badly gashed foot against the Soviet Union in the 1958 World Cup.Born in the poor north-eastern state of Pernambuco, Vav?egan his senior football career with the local state side Recife at the age of 15. It was his upper-body strength and his ability to hold off players that earned him the nickname “Peito do Aco” – “Chest of Steel”. Four years later, he scored the third goal in Brazil’s 3-1 victory over Czechoslovakia in Chile.Although Vav?as a key member of the great Brazilian sides of 1958 and 1962, he was not a typically elegant Brazilian player, but a brave, powerful targetman with an instinctive eye for goal and a thunderous shot.

The former Brazil striker Edvaldo Izidio Neto, better known as Vav?had the distinction of scoring in two World Cup Finals, a feat matched by his Brazilian team-mate Pel?Vav?cored twice in Brazil’s first World Cup Final victory, in the 5-2 defeat of the host nation Sweden in 1958. He also was a great talent scout: he found two members of Fleetwood Mac and was my mentor And he was an incredibly funny guy.Chris Salewicz.

“He never became a huge star,” said Fleetwood, but he was always known as one of the better keyboards players in the world. Reuniting with his great friend Mick Fleetwood, he worked on soundtracks, which amply suited the visual sense he brought to his keyboard work; he continued to perform around southern California, and recently completed a new record, The Art of Levitation.Six months ago, at a 2,000-seater venue in Los Angeles, Peter Bardens played his last show, after having been diagnosed as suffering from a brain tumour: on stage with him were John McVie, John Mayall, Sheila E, Ben Harper and Mick Fleetwood. But he left London in 1985 to live in Malibu, California, releasing a relatively successful solo album, Seen One Earth (1987). Although Camel continued to be successful overseas, Bardens left the group at the end of the decade, and for a time once again played with Van Morrison.Bardens formed a group called Keats, whose only album, released in 1984, employed the talents of the conceptual producer Alan Parsons. With the bassplayer Doug Ferguson, the drummer Andy Ward, and the guitarist Andy Latimer, he formed Camel in the spring of 1972: dominated by Bardens’s keyboard-playing, Camel was an archetypal progressive rock group, capable of selling out concert halls all over Europe after they successfully adapted a Paul Gallico children’s story, The Snow Goose (1975), for their third album.Camel had three more hit albums, Moonmadness (1976), Rain Dances (1977) and Breathless (1978), before punk rock rendered their style of music redundant in the UK.

After Bardens had fired Stewart for being “awkward” and John Mayall had poached Green to join his Bluesbreakers, the group split around 1967: Mick Fleetwood followed Green to John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, soon departing with John McVie to form Fleetwood Mac; and Dave Ambrose joined the Brian Auger Trinity – later, as an A and R man, he would sign the Sex Pistols, Duran Duran, and the Pet Shop Boys, among many other acts.For a time Bardens played in a group with Bruce Thomas, who later became one of Elvis Costello’s Attractions. A hardworking roadshow soul revue, playing Motown-type covers, Shotgun Express had a minor hit with “I Feel the Whole World Turn Around Underneath Me”. The group released one single, “Do You Want to Be Happy for the Rest of Your Life”, and played the circuit of mod soul clubs.”Although I preferred Pete as a pianist,” said Ambrose, “the revolution of the arrival of the Hammond organ and the sound of people like Jimmy Smith made him study the instrument and he became very good on it.”Peter Bardens then brought in a pair of singers, Beryl Marsden and an unknown, Rod Stewart, and renamed the group Shotgun Express. The group split up when Bardens was offered the job of keyboard player with the Irish R&B group Them, which featured the vocalist Van Morrison.Then he formed an instrumental group performing material by the likes of Booker T and Mose Allison that he named Peter B’s Looners: Mick Fleetwood was once again on drums; Dave Ambrose, whom Bardens had met at the Byam Shaw, played bass; and on guitar was a player Bardens had discovered called Peter Green. ‘I’ve been hearing you play: would you like a gig?’ He literally kickstarted me into the music business.”Bardens and Fleetwood formed the Cheynes, playing pop R&B of the type popularised by Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry, securing a residency at the Mandrake club off Wardour Street in Soho, and releasing a couple of singles. With the intention of joining a group, Fleetwood had moved to London in 1964 to stay with his sister: “There was a knock on the door. The son of Dennis Bardens, a writer of mystery novels and biographies, he was born in London in 1945, was brought up in the then Bohemian district of Notting Hill and attended the local Byam Shaw art school, where he studied Fine Art.Fired by the burgeoning blues movement in west London, Bardens recruited an apprentice drummer called Mick Fleetwood whom he had heard rehearsing in the garage of a house three doors away from where he lived.

The name of Peter Bardens is best known from the success of Camel, the progressive rock group he led in the early 1970s.The keyboard player’s greatest influence on the British music scene, however, took place in the previous decade, when he was a formative member of London’s art school R&B scene and a figure of irrepressible spirit and energy. Peter Bardens, keyboard player and singer: born London 19 June 1945; married Julia Neale (two sons, one daughter; marriage dissolved); died Malibu, California 22 January 2002. A working party, which will include government and union representatives, will then negotiate any changes.. [Ms Morris] seems to be shying away from the idea of a contract at every opportunity.”The pay review body is expected to produce a report on teachers’ workload this spring. Nigel de Gruchy, general secretary of the National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers, said: “The letter is far too nervous and far too reticent. But Ms Morris says she is “not persuaded” of the case for a cap on hours, favouring statutory guidance to schools saying teachers should “routinely” be given “professional time” away from the classroom.Union leaders expressed “disappointment” at the plan.
