Some Famous People called Gabriel Santos
Gabriel Rodrigues dos Santos
Gabriel Rodrigues dos Santos (born 5 June 1981), commonly known as just Gabriel, is a Brazilian footballer, who plays primarily as a wing-back down the right hand side of the pitch; he is currently playing for Miami Dade FC.
He earned his only full cap for the Brazil national football team in a friendly win against Guatemala on 27 April 2005.
He has spent most of his career in his native Brazil, having started in São Paulo and reaching his peak while playing for Fluminense in 2005 and 2007. He had a short spell playing for Málaga CF at Spanish La Liga in 2006, but was unable to prevent the club's relegation and returned to play for Cruzeiro.
After being released by Cruzeiro on 22 May 2007, Gabriel signed for one of his former clubs, Fluminense, on 25 August 2007. He played an important role in the team's Copa Libertadores performance, ending up as runners up.
On 17 July 2008, he agreed terms with Panathinaikos at a cost of €1.2 million. He was brought in as the new attacking minded right full back but it seems that he needed more work in his defensive game for the European standards. For that reason, Panathinaikos manager Henk ten Cate used Gabriel mainly as a right midfielder or winger in 4–2–3–1 and 4–3–2–1 formations.
In August 2010, Gabriel moved to Brazilian side Grêmio on loan. The move was made permanent in July 2011.
Gabriel transferred to Internacional in January 2013.
On 23 July 2015, Gabriel signed with Fort Lauderdale Strikers of the North American Soccer League.
On 7 May Gabriel made his debut for Miami Dade FC alongside former Brazil Captain Emerson Ferreira da Rosa, scoring 1 goal in a 3x1 victory against Jupiter United. On 2 July, he won the 2017 Regular Season Championship undefeated in his first year with the club.

Gabriel Joaquim dos Santos (1892–1985) was a Brazilian salt worker and son of a former slave who rose to prominence as a self-taught architect and outsider artist. He began building the House of the Flower in 1923. Described as an “intuitive baroque” or Art Brut style of building, dos Santos constructed and decorated the house throughout the decades of his life, only ceasing when he died. To build and ornament the house, dos Santos gathered scraps and bits of trash - ceramic, china, tile fragments, broken lamps, knickknacks, shells, chains, fenders, headlights, splintered windows, smashed bottles, broken dishes, bits of old iron, chair legs, wheels, and metal lids - from nearby Cabo Frío. What seemed to have no use was transformed by his hands into sculptures, replicas, and mosaics which were incorporated into the house. "Every tiny shard," dos Santos said, "turns into a thing of beauty."
Poor, black, and lacking in formal education and even literacy until he was almost 40 years old, dos Santos created work in a style entirely his own carried by fantasy and imagination. After his death, the House of the Flower was listed as part of the state’s cultural heritage by Inepac, the State Institute of Cultural Heritage. Visitors and art critics consider it a unique expression of spontaneous popular architecture. Gabriel defined it as “a house made of shards and made into a flower”. His work has inspired seminars on architecture, publications, and documentaries, such as O Fio da Memória, by acclaimed Brazilian filmmaker Eduardo Coutinho.
