Roberto Carlos news: World Cup winner scores on Sunday League debut in Shrewsbury

ROBERTO CARLOS scored on his Sunday League debut as the legendary Brazil and Real Madrid left-back turned out for pub side Bull in the Barne United.

Shrewsbury Sunday League side Bull in the Barne United, named after a local pub, were lucky enough to have the 48-year-old World Cup winner make an appearance for them after winning a charity ‘Dream Transfer’ raffle on eBay in January.

Despite his sterling credentials, Carlos was only deemed fit enough for a place on the bench for Friday’s clash with Harlescott Rangers.

But he came on to play his part in a seven-goal thriller at the Hanwood Village Hall Recreation Centre.
