Unfortunately his career total is very dodgy but it's nice to still see a legend going at 41.

He counts goals in training as goals
Great player tho, lethal in the box.

5-0
pele was the same lads , 1000 goals in his career and he counted all his exhibition games as well , basically where they lined up mug outfits for him to get hat-tricks galore !! Can someone explain if romario did the same or are his 992 goals more legit ?
Was he crazy!! Yeah , in a very special way , an Irishman.
I slept, and dreamed that life was Beauty;
I woke, and found that life was Duty.
I read an article somewhere that his club were organising games along the same lines as Pele.Originally Posted by RogerMilla
Who Cares?!
No-one will ever touch Gerd Muller's record in 'competitive' games. Der Bomber.
He scored a hattrick in the local state championship. He's on 995 goals now by his count.
Proved my point...
Let's sign him for our first round League Cup game. Wouldn't prove he still has it. Good luck to him all the same.
So he can wait with the other list of players who can't play until July?
He's Romario; he'd be allowed play.

This article outlines where he gets his figures from. Even when you cut out the spurious stuff he has still scored 749 in competitive internationals and club games. An amazing total. He scored another hattrick last week.
