one of the best, if not, i dare to say, the best striker in history of football...!!!

I would still take him now, give him 10-15 minutes here and there.

Best player I've ever seen. What balance, what strength, what pace, what skill. He had it all in the attacking sense. Defenders used to bounce off him.

[Bender]

World Class Player .......amazing technique speed and control

Too bad he never played with us, could have gone down as a legend in my eyes

Didn't play against us either iirc?

[IN_RAFA_WE_TRUST]

Don't think he did. But yeah he was one of the best.

Clips from his final match against Romania.

The brain is still there but he looks awful. Sad.

How recent was that match? I cant believe he's still getting picked for the Brazil side, even if it was just out of sentiment.

I think it was the other day/recent... I am sure I read somewhere that they let him play the last 20 mins of a friendly as it would be his last ever appearance in football.

You can still see he knows what position to be in, when to move, who is around him - he's just not physically good enough any more.

What a player though

Best striker i have ever seen in my life and i doubt i will see a better one.. sad day for football
