Brazil Legend Roberto Carlos Scores Penalty for Sunday League Pub Team

At 48 years old, Roberto Carlos played in—and scored—in a Sunday league match for a local pub on Friday.

The three-time Champions League winner took the field for Shrewsbury's Bull in the Barne pub team thanks to an Ebay raffle called “Dream Transfer,” in which proceeds went to Football Beyond Borders. 

Even though the Sunday League side had a World Cup winner on its side, Roberto Carlos still had to wait to come off the bench.
