Common card · No. 393996

Dener Augusto de Sousa (2 April 1971 – 18 April 1994), known simply as Dener, was a Brazilian footballer who played as a forward. He played twice for the Brazil national team. During his short career, Dener, wearing No.10, drew comparisons with Garrincha and Pele and he was considered one of Brazil's most talented young footballers of the 1990s. In early 1994, even Diego Maradona himself expressed his admiration for Dener's skills after a match against Newell's Old Boys, while his transfer to VfB Stuttgart a few months later never materialised due to his tragic death in a car accident.
