Túlio Maravilha

Túlio Maravilha makes me smile before I even start writing. A Goiânia-born striker who literally carried the word Maravilha, wonder, in his name, he barnstormed through Goiás, Botafogo, Corinthians, Fluminense and Cruzeiro as a born goal-poacher. What I love is the obsession behind his vow to score a thousand career goals, chasing it into improbably late seasons long after most forwards retire; it is showmanship and stubbornness fused into one career. His later turn to politics reads, to me, as a man trying to pour the pitch's warmth and popularity back into his home region. He is Brazilian football's joyful, relentless romantic.
