Some of his tackles and his goal against Spurs have been among my favourite moments this season. He's only going to get better.
Brazilian footballer Cafu has landed in Merseyside ahead of Liverpool FC ’s Premiership title clash tomorrow.
The 43-year-old former right back arrived at Liverpool Lime Street Station and was mobbed by scores of fans.
Cafu – the only player ever to have appeared in three World Cup finals – was on the losing AC Milan team when the Reds won the Champions League in 2005.

Cafu will be at Anfield tomorrow to watch the crunch end-of-the-season game against Newcastle.
He wrote on Twitter: “I am visiting the city of the Scouser on Sunday to see the team against Newcastle – I look forward to the Anfield roar!”
Liverpool fan Kevin Cowley, based in London but originally from Huyton , met Cafu on the train and said: “I haven’t got a ticket for the Newcastle game but just want to be by Anfield on matchday in case the miracle happens.

“It was great to meet Cafu, he was an absolute gent and really friendly but unfortunately he didn’t have any spares!”
Fans at Lime Street were also delighted to meet him.
One said: “It was an unbelievable experience and a dream come true to meet such a great player, although I think Jon Flanagan might go on to be even better than him.”
Another said: “Cafu was there in Istanbul in 2005 so maybe him being here is an omen for Liverpool winning the league.
“You can just feel in the city, people everywhere have got red shirts on. It is going to happen.”

Flanagan has been dubbed the “Scouse Cafu”, prompting the Brazilian to write on Twitter recently: “Good to see the Red Cafu is playing well! Liverpool amazing to watch!”
And the Brazilian got to meet his Childwall-born alter-ego as the Reds defender later tweeted:
The Brazilian also showed his support for those affected by the Hillsborough tragedy when he tweeted 'Football will always remember the 96' on the 25th anniversary of the disaster last month.

Cafu was probably among the greatest FBs ever though so no pressure Flanno.
Thats cool as fuck.
⬆︎⬆︎⬆︎⬆︎⬆︎⬆︎
Methinks I'm gonna have reach a state of alcohol induced coma in order to get some rest tonight. I cannot relax.
Something (absolutely mad)wonderful is about to happen!!!!!!!!
What did you say Refugee?
Good question. Just something about him being great against arsenal and young, and hence too young to write off (i think it was in direct response to Modo writing him off, and doing his usual thing of going on about it in every thread) . I think Macca also defended him.
I didn't know Cafu was present at Istanbul. Interesting. The planets are aligning...
That is awesome. Cafu = legend.
Andy Gray also said there is 'no chance, categorically, none at all' that we will win the league. Even after Richard monkeyhands Keys had pointed out to him that he said something similar 'Liverpool may as well go home now' at half time in Istanbul.
Stars aligning...

Seriously.
Next you'll tell me Cafu was playing.
Greatest right back of all time in my estimation, that fella must have had about 4 lungs, never stopped running for 90 minutes always bombing forward on the overlap, if Flanno turns out to be half the player Cafu was he will be doing alright
Anybody know what the connection is? I mean why is he in town for the game, is he mates with some of our Brazillian contingent or what. Either way he looks proper made up to be there in those photos, legend

Started from some twitter joke about Flanagan being the Red Cafu and snowballed from there I believe.
Although we can always start the rumour that Flanagan is a distant cousin of Cafu, and the original family name is Flanagano.
This is amazing.
Ha ha hats off to Cafu that's class
Mind you still think we need better than flanno next season.
