Raimundo Nonato Tavares da Silva

Raimundo Nonato Tavares da Silva, commonly known by the nickname Bobô (born November 28, 1962), is a retired Brazilian professional football right midfielder and head coach, who played for several Campeonato Brasileiro Série A clubs.

Playing career

Born on November 28, 1962 in Senhor do Bonfim, before becoming a professional player, Bobô played for local amateur club Bahia Jovem, then he joined Catuense's youth squad after the club's head coach, João Correia, observed him playing. In 1982, he started his professional career playing for Catuense, where he stayed through 1984. In 1985, he joined Bahia, where he won three times the Campeonato Baiano (in 1986, in 1987 and in 1988), and also won the 1988 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, scoring six goals in the competition, including two in the first leg of the final, and winning that year's Placar magazine's Bola de Prata award. He stayed at Bahia until 1989, when he was signed by São Paulo for US$1 million. He scored three goals in the 18 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A games that he played for São Paulo, winning the 1989 Bola de Prata, and that year's Campeonato Paulista. After leaving São Paulo during the 1990 season, he played for Flamengo, winning that season's Copa do Brasil, joining Flamengo's rivals, Fluminense in 1991, leaving the club in 1992, and playing for Corinthians and Internacional in 1993. In 1994, due to a judicial dispute with Corinthians, he ended the year without playing a game, but in the following year, he resumed playing, after returning to Catuense. In the same year, he returned to Bahia, retiring in 1997. Bobô played his farewell game on July 1, 1997 in a friendly tournament game between Bahia and Palmeiras.

Bobo (Italian comics)

Bobo is the title character of an eponym Italian comic strip created in 1979 by Sergio Staino. It was referred as a symbol of a whole generation.

The first comic strip of Bobo was created October 10, 1979 and was published in Linus in December of the same year. The comics later appeared in a large number of magazines and newspapers, including L'Unità, Il Corriere della Sera, Il Venerdì di Repubblica, Il Messaggero, L'espresso, Panorama, Cuore, TV Sorrisi e Canzoni.

The comic strip is pretty autobiographical, and the title character, a middle-aged former Communist average man struggling with family, politics and hobbies, is a self-portrait of the same author.

The same Staino starred in a live-action transposition of the comics, hosted in a segment of the television variety Drive In, in the 1984/1985 season.
