 Juninho - Definition, explanation
Juninho, full name Osvaldo Giroldo Junior, also known as Juninho Paulista, (born March 22, 1973 in São Paulo) is a Brazilian football (soccer) midfielder, a World Cup winner in 2002.
He made headways in England when he signed for Middlesbrough in 1995, as his classy play was a delight for Boro fans, but not enough to save the club from relegation in 1997.
Juninho would switch to Atlético Madrid for two seasons, come back to Middlesbrough for 1999-2000, move back to Brazil with Vasco da Gama and Flamengo, before returning -- for his third stint -- to Boro in 2002.
