Maicon Pereira de Oliveira

What stays with me about Maicon Pereira de Oliveira is the brevity of it all. A Rio-born forward who took the unglamorous road east to the Ukrainian Premier League, he was building a career far from home when he died at just 25 in 2014. I have a soft spot for footballers who chase the game across borders into leagues that rarely make headlines back home. There is a quiet courage in that. The record is thin, but I would rather remember the striker who dared to roam than let his name fade entirely. A short life, but a genuine one spent chasing goals.
