One of the all time great Brazillian strikers. Got great memories watching him in the 94 World Cup as a 9 year old. He lit up that tournament and was the best player in the world that year. Him and Bebeto were a great partnership. Remember the famous "rock the baby" celebration he did with Bebeto and Mazinho, and the "aeroplane" one he did as well. Was my favourite player and wanted Brazil to win that tournament and was delighted when they did.

Had a very colourful personal life as well! Liked to party!

Hasn't he announced retirement like 6 times already?

Yep and when he dies they're burying him next to Frank Sinatra ;)
