By now everyone is aware of Rogerio Ceni – the goalkeeper who loves scoring goals. And the 42-year-old is still at it with Sao Paulo!

Ceni took a free kick against Red Bull Brasil in the Campeonato Paulista and the legendary keeper scored with a perfect delivery that saw the opposition goalkeeper rooted to the spot and just watching the ball sail past him.

The keeper is now in his 23rd and possibly final season at Sao Paulo. He already owns three Guinness World Records – Most goals by a goalkeeper, Most number of games played for a single club (more than 1200) and Most number of games as captain. He also broke Ryan Giggs’ record of most wins at a single club.

His best season was in 2005 when he scored 21 goals in all competitions. A true legend of the game if there ever was one and it doesn’t look like his goalscoring record will be broken anytime soon!
