Rogério Fonseca da Silva (born 24 March 1970 in Brazil) is a Brazilian retired footballer.
Career[edit]
In 2001, Esquerdinha aimed to become the oldest player ever to retire in Brazil.[1] He later aimed to play for 40 clubs in his career.[2]
In 2002, Esquerdinha made his international debut in a friendly against Bolivia. In 2015, he said that people were suspicious of Sao Caetano, who were 2000 Brazilian league runners-up despite being in the second division, because of their fast rise which resulted in few of their players being called up.[2]
After returning to Barretos in 2015, he was judged to be physically unwell and left out of the squad despite featuring in seven out of eight games in a row. As a result, he has complained that there was a prejudice of older players in Brazil.[2]
