Great player and a very humble player, when he signed in 1995 Arsenal tried to hijack the deal at the last minute, but he stayed loyal saying Boro were the team to show interest first and he gave his word.
Boro then signed the 22 yr old brazilian footballer of the year for £4.75m and the rest is history.
All the best little fella, it was great watching you week in week out in a Boro shirt.
