Bebeto
Encyclopedia
José Roberto Gama de Oliveira, known as 'Bebeto', (born February 16, 1964 in Salvador, Brazil
) is a former football
forward
, a World Champion for Brazil in the 1994 World Cup. In the 2010 Brazilian General Elections
he was elected to the Legislative Assembly
of Rio de Janeiro representing the Democratic Labour Party
.
and would go on to play for Flamengo
, Vasco da Gama
, Cruzeiro
and Botafogo
in Brazil, Deportivo La Coruña
and Sevilla
in Spain
, Toros Neza
in Mexico
, Kashima Antlers
in Japan
, and Al Ittihad in Saudi Arabia
, finally retiring in 2002.
For Brazil, Bebeto scored 39 goals in 75 caps after making his debut in 1985. He played in three World Cups: 1990, 1994, and 1998. In 1994, he was one of the best players of the tournament, scoring three goals for the eventual champions, and then repeated the feat four years later as Brazil finished second.
Bebeto became a household name for his goal celebration
in the 1994 World Cup. His wife had delivered their third child just days before a quarter-final match against Holland
. After the striker pumped the go-ahead goal into the back of the net Bebeto ran to the sideline, brought his arms together and began rocking an imaginary baby. Teammates Romário
and Mazinho
quickly joined in. That child, a boy who was named Matheus, now plays with the youth side of Brazilian club Flamenco.
In 1993–94 Deportivo had the chance to win their first ever La Liga
title by beating Valencia
in the last match of the season. In a very evenly matched contest Deportivo had a golden opportunity to seal the victory and thus the league title. They were given a penalty kick just minutes from the end. The official penalty taker all season had been Bebeto (after Donato
, who wasn't in the field), who this time, refused to take the penalty. Eventually, Miroslav Đukić took the penalty and failed, effectively handing Barcelona
the title.
In 1997 Bebeto joined Cruzeiro
for just one match, the 1997 Intercontinental Cup
final against Borussia Dortmund
. Despite of it, the Belo Horizonte
side lost the match 2–0.
In 2001, he was famously knocked back by Scottish
side St Mirren, who were willing to pay his wages but had reservations about his fitness.
, he was sacked on February 13, 2010. He had a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses.
