All-time best top division goal-scorers: Brazil - Carioca (Part 17)

Roberto Dinamite, who holds the Brazilian national league goal-scorer record, also scored the most for all times in the Rio de Janeiro State Championship (Carioca) since its creation in 1906.
Remarkably, he is unique player in the world football history to lead all-time goal-scorers’ ranking in two different leagues!
Carlos Roberto de Oliveira (his full name), deceased early this year, has amassed 286 goals from 1971 to 1992, all for Vasco da Gama.
Zico and Romário are another two to surpass 200 goals.
24 players (no active among them) have scored 100+ goals. 
The only foreigner in the list, the Englishman Henry Welfare, was also the very first to reach 100 goals in Carioca.
