Gilberto Silva is a Brazilian football player. He has played most
of his club football for the English club, Arsenal, as a defensive midfielder.
Gilberto was raised in a poor family, and as a child he balanced playing
football with various labouring jobs. He began his football career in 1997 with
América Mineiro, where good form earned him a move to Atlético Mineiro in 2000.
He became a star player for Atlético, playing for three years in the Brazilian
Campeonato Brasileiro Série A. He came to particular prominence when he helped
the Brazilian national team win the 2002 FIFA World Cup, playing in all seven
of Brazil's matches. In August of 2002 he joined Arsenal for £4.5 million, with
whom he has won the 2004 FA Premier League, and two FA Cup trophies. In his
first five seasons with the club he played 208 games and scored 23 goals. On 19
August 2006 he scored Arsenal's first ever competitive goal at the newly built
Emirates Stadium. He was made vice-captain of Arsenal in 2006 and is contracted
to the club until June 2009, after which he is expected to move back to Brazil.
