Reinaldo (footballer, born 1957)
José Reinaldo de Lima (born 11 January 1957) is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a striker.Widely regarded as one of the greatest strikers in the history of Brazilian football, Reinaldo played most of his career for Atlético Mineiro, is considered by many the most important player in the club, and still holds the record of highest goal average per game in the Brazilian league, with 1.55 goals per match in the 1977 Brazilian Championship, at a time when Atlético Mineiro was regarded to have one of the best teams in the world.[2] He also scored the qualifying goal for Brazil's participation in the 1982 FIFA World Cup held in Spain, but was not included on the team, apparently due to injury.[citation needed] He won eight Campeonato Mineiro titles including six consecutively: in 1976, 1978–1983 and 1985.[citation needed] In 2004, he was elected in Belo Horizonte to represent the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Brazilian Workers' Party).
