Romario's 1000th goal celeb annivarsary

[8008s]

On 20 May 2007, Romário scored his 1000th goal, a penalty kick against Sport Recife, playing for Vasco da Gama. The Brazilian press claimed him as one of few players in professional football history to achieve this, like Pelé and Puskás. The 1000th goal drew much attention from both Brazilian and international press, with the game being stopped for over 20 minutes to allow for celebrations from his fans. There is some controversy over the validity of the 1000 goals, because the number is somewhat inaccurate and Romário's research team also counted his goals in junior, friendly and non-official games
FIFA congratulated Romário on his milestone goal[33] but stated he is still officially on 929 goals, as 77 came in youth football, with others being scored in friendly matches. In 2008, Romário released a DVD with the best goals of his career totaling 900 goals in the disc.
posters input.. Well, to be fair, in official matches only Romario has more goals than Pele... Pele used to play 4 times in a week in friendly matches and would count all of them...
Young fans' passion is maddening!!

Looking at this vid again, he had clearly an unmatched super talent.
I remember I liked him in 1994, but his memories were short lived after the arrival of Ronaldo two years later. People forgot Ronaldo also too quick, when Ronaldinho came along 3 years later, and now people forgot about Ronaldinho...

Needless to say all 3 were phenomenally skilled. But Romario was too quickly forgotten. Thanks for posting this vid.
