    Happy Birthday Careca - A tribute: VIDEO

    Today is the birthday of Antônio de Oliveira Filho, or Careca, as most football fans around remember him.
     
    In 1987, the Brazilian striker arrived in Europe at newly crowned Serie A champions Napoli and alongside Diego Maradona and Bruno Giordano, formed the famous MA-GI-CA partnership, one of the deadliest in European football. He was inspirational in leading the club to their second league title in 1990 after winning the UEFA Cup the season before.

    He left Italy in 1993 and headed to Japan to join J-League side Kashiwa Reysol before returning to his homeland in 1997 to sign for Santos. He made 64 appearances for his country scoring 30 goals but was unable to guide them to any major honours. Sit back and enjoy this selection from his time at the San Paolo.
