Most Sunday league players rarely get to meet a World Cup winner in their lifetime.

But players of the Shrewsbury Sunday League side Bull in the Barne were given the chance to line-up with former World Cup winner Roberto Carlos.

The Brazilian legend rocked at Hanwood Recreation Ground courtesy of eBay's Dream Transfer raffle.

He was greeted by supporters and players who could scarcely believe former Brazilian left back had arrived for their clash with Harlescott Rangers. Carlos made a brief appearance in the first period - before coming off the bench late on to score a penalty for his side in a 4-3 defeat.

However - the defeat for Bull in the Barne did not take the shine off the day
