Romário de Souza Faria (born January 29, 1966), better known simply as Romário, is a Brazilian football center forward who helped the Brazil national team win the 1994 FIFA World Cup and was one of the most prolific strikers in the world in the 1990s, having had successful tenures with European clubs PSV Eindhoven and FC Barcelona, and in Brazil with Vasco da Gama. His professional career has extended past age 40, an age when most professional footballers have retired. He is also known by his rebellious character, which has earned him suspensions at the international level.
Romário has scored nearly 1000 official goals, a mark officially obtained only by former Brazilian attacker Pelé. He is the third highest goalscorer in the history of the Brazilian team, as well as the second highest scorer of all time in the Brazilian League, finishing as the top scorer six times. He was selected the Best player in the world in 1994 and is catalogued as one of the greatest forwards in the history of the game by FIFA.[4]
Romário was named as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers as part of FIFA's 100th anniversary celebration in March 2004. Former Argentina international player Diego Maradona, in his autobiography El Diego, described Romário as an "incredible finisher" and that he had not seen a striker like him. He even went on to mention that Romário would be in his all time dream team without any hesitation.
