NO BULL... PUB TEAM GET BRAZIL LEGEND

WORLD Cup-winning former Brazil defender Roberto Carlos is set to make a return to action next month – for a Shropshire-based Sunday League team.

Shrewsbury side Bull in the Barne United, named after a local pub, will have the ex-Real Madrid full-back, 48, (below) playing for one game after winning a charity Dream Transfer raffle on eBay.

The raffle also saw East Sussex team Pevensey and Westham land the services of former England forward Eni Aluko for one fixture.

Carlos said: “I’m excited to play for Bull in the Barne, paying homage to when I nearly signed for Birmingham City in the 90s, which is very close by.

“I’ve heard the team’s been down a number of players this season, so here’s hoping my training is enough to help them up their game and bring what Bull in the Barne’s fans want to see!”

Manager and keeper Ed Speller said: “Roberto Carlos is one of those legends who’s inspired so many young players.”
