If I told you about Rogerio Ceni's record of 72 goals in 737 games, you probably wouldn't be impressed. Unless of-course, I also divulged that Rogerio Ceni is a Goal Keeper.

I don't know what it is they give 'em down in South America, but that continent has a habit of producing these goal scoring er... goal keepers on a regular basis. First there was Colombian Rene Higuita, whose serial head-case sprints down-field would bring Colombia more problems then titles. Then there was the more impressive Jose Chilavert (pronounced shee-la-vair) whose free-kicks and goals from the halfway line single-handedly got Paraguay into the World Cup in 1998.

You know, if The Premiership or MLS ever had somebody like that in the league, I might be willing to watch once in a while. Might be. Probably wouldn't be.

If you're that way inclined here is a you-tube compilation on Ceni's goals.
