Grumbles, beaches and goals - is Romário Brasil's greatest ever player?


Jimbo is joined by Natalie Gedra, Jack Lang and Duncan Alexander to celebrate the unforgettable life and career of Baixinho (the little one).


From Barca to Vasco via PSV, Romário scored and won things everywhere he went, tormenting defences with his turn of pace and dexterous finishing.


Famed for scoring the goals that helped Brazil win the World Cup in USA 94, but also for the endless arguments and fallouts with coaches and teammates alike. But did he really score 1000 goals?


Plus Duncan's Brasilian themed quiz question.


Produced by Jesse Howard, Charlie Jones and Xavi Bird.
