There are very few people named Mako Mendonca in this world, but one such person is a middle aged velcro salesman who lives in Lisbon Portugal. His day to day job is selling reems of velcro on the telephone which is far from glamour of his namesake the brightest young runningback in the DSFL. He has a small house which he shares with 2 dogs, 3 cats, 8 budgies and a small gecko named Ronaldo. This older Mako once had sporting aspirations of his own, he wanted to represent his native Portugal in the Winter Olympics in the downhill giant slalom. Atlas his dream never came true, while he was training for the 1972 Winter Olympics in Japan he broke both his legs after a runaway bobsleigh crossed his path. He now walks with a slight limp and is one of the few people who did not enjoy the film 'cool runnings'. He also had a failed dog biscuit company to his name but that story is for another time. When informed of his namesake in the DSFL he was please that someone with his name is setting alight a different sport across the pond, but his is also wistful, for what might have been if it wasn't for that runaway bobsleigh all those years ago.
