O Rei do Parque - Roberto Rivelino

Playing in gold, dictum to "live the dream"
Rivelino from Wimbledon District League
Homage to the son of Italian émigrés
Tribute to Moustachioed intrigue

Heralded for a formidable left-foot shot
Corinthians and Fluminese’s famed chap
Indestructible guided distant free kicks
Architect of the Elastico Flip Flap

Staggering free kick against the Czechs
Christened “Patada Atómica"
Succeding Dida as dead ball king
"O Rei do Parque," with the cigar

Number 7
