Roberto Carlos.
LONDON, Jan 31 (Reuters) - Brazil World Cup winner Roberto Carlos will make an appearance for an English pub team after they acquired his services in a dream transfer raffle on auction website eBay.

The 48-year-old former full back, who played for Real Madrid and was well-known for his swerving free kicks, will swap the yellow of Brazil for the red shirt of Shrewsbury & District League side The Bull In The Barne.

He will appear as a substitute in a game in February.

While Roberto did play the game, he did not actually get subbed in to play until the team was already down 4-1. His entry lead to a quick score and soon after he was able to add another goal for the team with a penalty kick. However, the final score ended 4-3.
