| Roberto Rivelino is most admired for his powerful long-range shot and his "banana-bending" free-kicks. He was a star in Brazil's dazzling 1970 World Cup win. Rivelino theatrically completed a series rolls to finish inside the penalty area.
Roberto Rivelino is credited with scoring the fastest-ever goal, unofficially recorded as taking 3 seconds. This was scored directly from the kick-off pass as the opposition goal keeper was completing his prematch prayers. |
