Brazil's 1994 World Cup winner whose baby-rocking celebration became one of football's most iconic gestures — 75 goals in 75 Brazil appearances.
José Roberto Gama de Oliveira, known as Bebeto, was one of the most prolific strikers of his generation. His partnership with Romário at the 1994 World Cup was the most celebrated in tournament football — the pair scored 12 goals combined. His baby-rocking goal celebration — performed after scoring against the Netherlands — became one of the most imitated gestures in football history. He scored 75 goals in 75 Brazil appearances.
His baby-rocking celebration at the 1994 World Cup was performed to celebrate the birth of his son Mattheus — who later became a professional footballer himself.
