Wendell Lira has called time on his professional football career - get this - to pursue a life as a gaming YouTuber.
The name should ring the bell as he was awarded with the FIFA Puskas Award 2015 pipping Lionel Messi for his nimble half-bicycle kick. Here's the goal to jog your memory:
Following the recognition he moved to Tombense then Vila Nova yet failed to make a impact coupled with his prone to injuries.
The 27-year-old is a keen FIFA player and was even challenged to a game by world champion gamer Abdulaziz Alshehri. The Brazilian actually beat him 6-1 prompting his career change.
The former striker addressed his decision as he claimed, via globoesporte, that he hopes to turn his love for the game to a actual job, eventually becoming a Internet personality.
Interesting career move, Wendell. All the best with it.
