Romario Finally Retires at 42…

After a 23-year career and supposedly one thousand goals, Romario today announced that he was calling it a day. The former World Player of the Year made the announcement on the eve of a release of a DVD of 910 of his supposed 1000 goals (counted by Romario himself…) which included goals scored in amateur games, scrimmages and unofficial matches against small clubs. Just to give you a reminder of the little Brazilian’s magic, check out the video below!
