Roberto Dinamite died. Obviously I didn’t see him play because I was born much later, but I certainly know he was a myth and one of the greatest scorers in history. Strength to family, friends and especially to Vasco da Gama. rest in peace master pic.twitter.com/DP5ghCbEzi

I didn’t see Roberto Dinamite play but he became my idol just because of the stories my grandfather and mother told me. It comforts me to know that he was honored by Vasco while he was still alive and that he is eternalized in our hearts and in the statue in São Januário. Rest in peace Dina 🥀🖤 pic.twitter.com/HqIRRGiUlj

I am Vasco thanks to my father.
Thanks to a troubled time in my life that found comfort in football.
And if thanks to someone my team is huge, you are the reason for it all.
Thank you, Roberto Dinamite. Rest in peace. 🖤 pic.twitter.com/dOL4qAObKo

The rivalry between Zico and Roberto Dinamite was one of the most beautiful in football history. Two giant idols of two fans, fighting remarkable duels on the pitch, always with a lot of respect off it. Rest in peace, Dynamite 😔🙏🏽🥺

It’s not easy. As soon as we lost the King, today we lost the genius Roberto Dinamite. Only giants are leaving. This cursed disease has claimed yet another victim. Football again in mourning. Rest in peace, crack 😞🙏🏻#RipRobertoDinamite
