Brazilian goalie Fábio Deivson Lopes Maciel claims to have made his 1,391st competitive appearance in men's football – a world record.
In the same Maracaña stadium which saw Pelé score the 1,000th goal of his career—which may have actually been his 1,001st—Fábio made his own piece of history at the opposite end of the pitch. The 44-year-old surpassed the 1,390 games which former England international Peter Shilton is credited with.
