The Chirp 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Chaps/Chapettes and Wizard, I know there are a few geeky football fans on here.... Can anyone name me a South American footballer who is pretty decent but has a growing reputation for being a little wild? i.e lifestyle...loads of bookings... etc etc...No one obvious like Adriano... Your recommendation might be in 442 if it fits! If you could help i''d be really grateful... CheersJames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Takes free kicks and penalties, has been fined for assaulting a prostitute, referred to the Tribunal of Sports Justice for a head high tackle and denounced by his teammates as a club spy.

The Chirp 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Bruno... he sounds perfect! thanks... If anyone can think of anyone else I''d appreciate it. Not on Football Manager.. Although I wish I had a copy to hand... it''s actually an excellent research tool if you''re writing about footy. Beau... thanks buddy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Chirp 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Been looking over the net, I can''t find anythnig on Bruno being in trouble.. I know he had a party with prostitutes there but nothing on the spy part or the fine... Beau by any chance do you remember where you read about it? Appreciate the help... South American Football isn''t my strong point... Thought the net would be full of stories of crazy brash south american footballers... but I can''t find any!

The Chirp 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Found this guy... Kleber, from Cruzeiro - "the new Animal", as he was nicknamed by Palmeiras fans.He has done it all to match Edmundo''s reputation: fights on and off the pitch, sharp mouth, beautiful goals...His latest stint - playing football in a Palmeiras'' ultras party while recovering from an injury (and on the eve of the Palmeiras-Cruzeiro clash) - was not a hit with the Cruzeiro fans, but the club board forgave him: "He''s a bigamous". What do ya think?? Guys appreciate the help... Great to have the pinkun as a resource! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was in the May edition of WSC. I''ve tried to find it for you on their website but haven''t succeeded. However, I''m sufficiently anal to have kept the magazine so if you want to PM me your fax number I''ll be happy to ping it across! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
B-ru 0 Posted December 3, 2009 Kerlon- I hate to say it, but his career is going in the same direction as Freddy Adu. will end up being lost in European football. Love watchin"the Seal" videos on youtube. He is also not enough of a character to be considred on this thread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I''ve written a 2,500 word low down on each team that i''ll put up in my blog tomorrow or tonight for those of you who are world cup mad and sad like myself who''ll read anything! :) Thanks for the suggestions... will look all of them up as there are other sections in the mag for the nutty South Ams!
