O Fenômeno. Three-time FIFA World Player of the Year and twice a Ballon d'Or winner, R9 redefined what a centre-forward could be: a sprinter's pace, a heavyweight's balance, and a first touch that opened the back of a net. His eight goals at Korea/Japan 2002 are still the modern blueprint for a World Cup top scorer.

Three things to drop into conversation
- 01Won FIFA World Player of the Year aged 21 in 1996 — still the youngest ever to do so.
- 02Suffered a convulsive fit hours before the 1998 World Cup final and was reinstated for kick-off; he still won the Golden Ball.
- 03His eight goals at the 2002 World Cup were, in his own words, his 'redemption' for 1998.
