Luiz Carlos Bombonato Goulart, most known as Luizão (big Luiz), is a Brazilian forward, who was born November 14, 1975 in Rubinéia, SP. He is one of the few players, alongside Antônio Carlos, Müller,Neto and César Sampaio that played on the four major clubs of São Paulo, Santos, Palmeiras and Corinthians. He managed to be the top golscorer of at least one tournament for each one of them, except for Santos, where he had a disappointing display, playing not many games.

Luizão bloomed at Guarani with two other successful players, who are close friends to him: Djalminha and Amoroso. He and Djalminha went on to top-club Palmeiras, where they won many titles, including an undefeated São Paulo State Championship under the command of Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

He then followed Djalminha to Deportivo de La Coruña, but unlike the talented playmaker, Luizão failed to settle. He returned to Brazil to Vasco.
