José Roberto Gama de Oliveira, better known as Bebeto, is one of the best players in the history of RC Deportivo Coruna. The Brazilian soccer player dazzled us with the kids who met soccer in the first years of the decade of the 90 and swelled to score goals in our League.
Arrived in season 1992-1993 hand in hand with the sports president Augusto Cesar Lendoiro, Bebeto amazed his own and strangers becoming the Pichichi that season. Far from settling, the Brazilian continued to drill the rival goals during the 4 campaigns that wore the blue and white shirt of that mythical 'super Depor'that made history.

But if there is a match in which the protagonist of our article 'broke it' it was against Albacete. The Dépor received to the set La Mancha 1 October 1995 at the Riazor Stadium. Locals expired by 1-0 with goal, precisely, of Bebeto who had opened the scoring in the minute 2. It was from 84 when something historic happened that had never happened. The striker was able to score 4 more goals in just 6 minutes, thus sealing a win for 5-0 with 5 Babeto goals.
Thus, the Brazilian became the fastest player to score four goals. Before him, the valencianista World and the Sevilla player Campanal, they had succeeded in 10 minutes, both in the distant season 1941-1942.
Another who scored this number of goals in record time was Ladislao Kubala. The Barça footballer made four goals in 13 minutes in a victory for his team by 9-0 against Sporting de Gijón in the campaign 1951-1952. Much more recent were the four entries by Good in 14 minutes in a Rayo-Levante (season 2014-2015) Y, by last, Hermida, Celta player, scored another four 'chicharros' in 16 minutes in a game that his team won by 10-1 to the Nastic in the 49-50.
