Another footballing legend has decided to call time on a glittering career as Roberto Carlos has decided enough is enough.
Arguably the greatest left back ever, the Brazilian was a dead ball specialist and scored some of the best free-kicks you could ever wish to see, including the famous banana goal against France.
Carlos spent the most fruitful years of his career in the white of Real Madrid where he won four league titles and the Champions League three times and was part of the infamous galactico’s squad.
He was also a key member of the Brazil squad that won the World Cup in 2002, where he was voted into the all star team, added to all this he even finished second in the 1997 World Player of the Year poll, not bad for a defender
In total Carlos played 820 games in his career and almost unprecedented for a defender, scored 101 goals.
Many call Ashley Cole the best left back currently playing, and to be fair he probably is, but he’s not even close to being on the same level as Carlos, thats how good he was.
He will undoubtedly be remembered as one of the games greats and I wouldn’t mind betting it will be a while before we see a full back like him again.
