In the new documentary titled, 'Kaiser: The Greatest Footballer to Never Play Football' revealed the hilarious moves employed by Raposo, now 55, to keep himself away from playing football.
At first, his primary motive was to pen a deal with a club and then gets injured during his first session with the team.
As a result of the injury, he would then be ruled out of action for several weeks or months and when eggheads of the club get tried about him, he simply moved on to another club.
At the last count, Raposo was successful in tricking top Brazilian clubs that Flamengo, Botafogo, Bangu, Fluminense and Vasco da Gama in addition to French team Gazélec Ajaccio and El Paso Sixshooters in Texas.
Furthermore, Raposo was also good at fooling celebrities who are mostly Brazilian superstar footballers like Romario, Carlos Alberto, Bebeto and Zico as well as misinform journalists in a skill full manner.

At times, he usually send reporters video footages while scoring goals, but in real sense the goals were actually netted by some other persons that shares close resemblance and he pressurizes them to express great praise in the reports about him.
Furthermore, when the club owner of a team he had fooled into offering him a contract was present during a session, he would tip the fans to always cheer his name.
At a point Raposo had to splash the cash on youth team players to hack him down during training to enable him continue to conceal his lack of talent.
During a match, after he was informed that he will be coming off the bench for Bangu as his side were losing 2-0, Raposo jumped onto a fence and shouted abuse at booing supporters.
Immediately, the referee flashed him a red card and so he skipped being exposed for the umpteenth time.
In four other instances, Raposo claimed he could not play following the demise of his grandmother.
In the book about Raposo authored by Rob Smyth which was released alongside the documentary, authentic Brazilian star Bebeto revealed how his then-friend manipulated everyone to believe him.
“His chat was so good that if you let him open his mouth, that would be it,' Bebeto said.
“He'd charm you. You couldn't avoid it. That would be it.”
‘The Kaiser’ as some of his fans prefer to call him was a favourite among the womenfolk and he proudly tells anyone that cares to listen than he has bedded over a thousand of them.
However, some of his supporters now see him as a wicked man, but he prefers to seen as a 'victim'.
In a chat with The Mirror, he opined: “I always thought I'd been adopted, but I found out from my cousin that my adoptive mother, Lina, had stolen me from my mother when I was seven days old.
“My real mother thinks I'm dead. Lina was a cruel person who, when I was 10, put me into a football school and forced me to play to make her rich. But from that moment on, I hated football.
“I did everything I could to not play, from the age of 10 until the day I never had to play again. Psychologists have told me that's the reason I did what I did. I was never a bad person. I consider myself a survivor.”

Today, Raposo trains women in bodybuilding and resides in Rio de Janeiro but was quick to regrets his past fraud life as he believes things could have been a ‘great footballer’ if only he employed the same effort he used in scamming clubs towards perfecting his game.
