Iv'e been browsing at wikipedia tonight focussing on the great Brazilian players who made up their 1970 World Cup Final team and wondering where they are today.
Eventually I came across Roberto Rivellinho the midfielder famous for his moustache. I nearly pissed byself when I read the bottom paragraph of this piece:
Rivelino further represented Brazil in the 1989 edition of the World Cup of Masters, scoring in the final against Uruguay.
Rivelino was one of the players named by Pelé in 2004 as the 125 Greatest Living Footballers.
Rivelino is unofficially credited with scoring the fastest goal in football history when he supposedly scored a goal direct from the kick-off after noticing the opposition goalkeeper on his knees finishing off pre-match prayers.[/b]
