Márcio Roberto dos Santos

Márcio Roberto dos Santos, best known as Márcio Santos (born São Paulo September 15, 1969) is a Brazilian footballer, who played as a defender for such teams as Internacional, ACF Fiorentina and Ajax Amsterdam. He was a member of the Brazilian national football team that won the 1994 FIFA World Cup, in which he scored one goal in the group stages.

[edit] Career

During Santos' year with Fiorentina (1994), club owner Vittorio Cecchi Gori promised to arrange a dinner with actress Sharon Stone if he scored six goals that season. However, Márcio Santos scored only twice and one own-goal. [1]
When playing for Ajax Amsterdam, as a substitute he once received a red card after 19 seconds of playing in the match against PSV Eindhoven on December 19, 1996. That's still the fastest red card for a substitute in Holland.
