Rivaldo...

Having retired as a player he returned to Brazil last year and became president of his old Club. A few weeks ago he decided to come out of retirement and sign himself as a player, including getting photos photoshopped of him giving himself a contract, gurning, etc...

Then, to make things even weirder, he's loaned himself to Sao Paulo, for whom he then scored with a lovely finish on his debut.

He's a character to say the least, and a great footballer, sounded a bit like horse poop so went to the ever reliable Wiki, which doesn't have that stuff but lists him as on loan with one goal at Sao Paulo, sign yourself as a player, by yourself, then loan yourself to another club, mental.

Wiki also says he's the only person to score 10 goals in 4 official matches, scored 1 in the first, 2 in the second, hattrick in the third and says he scored a poker in the 4th, is poker a common term for scoring 4 goals? Never heard of it myself.

Surprisingly successful after he somewhat dissappeared from the limelight after Barca, scored and played a lot more and for a lot longer than I thought he did.

This makes no sense and I love it.

Hxc · 10 Mar 2011 at 19:03

That's hilarious and brilliant. I love that he got images photoshopped.

I've read what happened a couple of times now and I still think it doesn't make sense, superb that man. Pity about the cheating to get the guy sent off when he was playing for Brazil though.

It is in Italy. Less so in this country.

Class player !!!

I don't know how to automatically skip it to 5:00, so do it yourself. Dennis Bergkamp eat your heart out.

My god, I had forgotten how good he was!

It sounds like a story out of the outer limits tbh.

Except Bergkamp actually put the ball in the net rather than a hopeful lob to another player.

Anyhow, good work the mentalist fella.
