Gilberto Ribeiro Gonçalves (born 13 September 1980 in Andradina), commonly known as Gil (Portuguese pronunciation: [ˈʒiɫ]) (the Legislator) is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Juventus-SP. He was formally a Brazilian international.

Career

Early years

Gil grew up in a small town, Andradina, where his talent was recognised at a very early age. He was noticed by Corinthians scouts at the age 15, and soon went on to join as a youth player.

Corinthians

His time at Corinthians was relatively successful, with Gil managing to register 31 goals in 124 games, a decent record for a winger-cum-forward. His pace, skill, technical ability, control and ability to beat his man shone in the Brazilian league, but after five years with the Corinthians first team, he transferred to Tokyo Verdy 1969 of Japan, in 2005.

Tokyo Verdy

His time in Japan was very unsuccessful, with Gil not being a regular starter and not playing to his full potential, which in turn led him to be sold to Brazilian team Cruzeiro, in 2006.

Cruzeiro

He did not present his best football while in Cruzeiro. Only scoring four goals in over fifteen appearances. He did however start in the majority of the games and became a reliable source for assisting other players for goals.

Gimnastic de Tarragona

His season long stay in Tarragona was yet another unsuccessful venture for Gil. Gil played 19 matches and he did not score any goals, during his time with Gimnastic de Tarragona.

Flamengo

On 25 September 2009 Flamengo have signed the forward until December 2009.

National team

Gil appeared in the 2003 Confederations’ Cup.

Marco Pierre White’s net worth, biography, fact, career, awards and life story

Marco Pierre White Net Worth: Marco Pierre White is a British celebrity chef, restaurateur and television personality who has a net worth of $40 million. Marco Pierre White was born December 11, 1961 in Leeds, United Kingdom. Marco Pierre White comes from a long line of chefs; his father, grandfather and brothers were all chefs. Marco began his cooking career as a kitchen apprentice at the Hotel St. George in Harrogate and quickly worked his way up to a job at the two Michelin-starred Box Tree in Ilkley, Yorkshire, where he fueled his obsession with food. Following this stint, Marco moved to London and found a job working at Le Gavroche and began his classical training as a commis (a basic chef). He then worked at Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons in Oxfordshire, under Raymond Blanc. In 1986—at only 24 years of age—he became a shareholder and head chef at upmarket burger bar Harveys. Marco transformed it into a classy and sophisticated restaurant. At the same time, Marco transformed into a chef known to be ruthless. He has been dubbed by the press as ‘London’s rudest chef’. During his early career in the kitchen, White regularly ejected patrons from his restaurants if he took offense at their comments. When a customer once asked if he could have a side order of chips with his lunch, White hand-cut and personally cooked the chips, but charged the customer extra for his time. A young chef at Harveys, who once complained of heat in the kitchen, had the back of his chef’s jacket and trousers cut open by White—wielding a sharp paring knife. Marco’s tough attitude was not for nothing though—he received his third Michelin star at the age of 33. He is the youngest Briton to have received 3 Michelin stars. He also raised eyebrows when, after 17 years of pursuing what he thought to be his ambition (and in spite of his accomplishments), he returned his Michelin stars and retired, citing that his career did not provide him with adequate returns in his personal life.
