Great player, a legend. Check out some of his quotes. http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Rom%C3%A1rio

Btw why did we sell him?

Great player. He played here befor i became a culé. But i've seen some great videos.

Romario and Laudrup - ouch!

by **Bardh** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 5:05 pm

Yeah, funny how we let him go. A goal machine!

I don't know the details, but I would imagine we sold him for the same reason that every other club has ever sold him...great player, but his training/lifestyle habits left something to be desired.

If anyone has a copy of Jimmy Burns's book Barca: A People's Passion, I'm pretty sure there's something about it in there.

Only found out yesterday he has passed Puskas as the 2nd highest goalscorer in football history :shock:

What a player, a deadly finisher :prayer:

Scored his 950th career goal back in January

Not just a Barca legend, but a footballing God :prayer:

He's playing his football in the MLS isn't he? Should get beyond the 1000 goal barrier in no time

by **Murph** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:33 pm

Yeah, think he's playing in Miami. Only Pele has reached 1000 career goals, i sure hope Rom gets there too. Best hurry up though, as he's no spring chicken.

by **eldiablo1899** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:44 pm

He should get passed 1000, but I don't think he will beat Pele's 1281 goals record :shock:

by **Murph** » Fri Aug 11, 2006 9:49 pm

Well as an over 40y/o, i don't think so either.

Confidance or arogance? :-k

Giggs - "Romario, he was just lightning over three yards, it really was unbelievable to watch. Romario would do a Cryuff turn and before you knew it, he'd be gone. He'd leave players for dead and whip the ball into the back of the net. He had a real arrogance and swagger to him as well" :prayer:

I can't believe i had the chance to watch this guy playing, It was something special, something unique.

Just imagine if we could have him and Stoichkov playing in our team now :rolleyes:

by **Bardh** » Sat Aug 12, 2006 12:31 pm

He's playing for Miami in USA. I remember the 5-0 thrashing, him scoring a hattrick. The first goal is amazing.
