Alongside Diego Maradona and Brun Giordano, the Brazilian completed the puzzle of what became a devastating Napoli front three, and although his first season at the San Paolo ended in heartbreak, it was in 1989/1990, after winning the UEFA Cup in his second season, that Antônio de Oliveira Filho engraved his name in Neapolitan folklore.

Careca was part of the Napoli team who after European Cup triumph in 1988/89, went on to win a historic domestic treble. His aerial prowess, and ability to score goals with both feet made him the complete striker for the Azzurri.

Is it then surprising that having scored 30 goals in 64 appearances for Brazil, Careca also managed an impressive haul of 73 goals in over 150 appearances for the Partonepei, before bowing out in the summer of 1993?
