Gilbert Hime
Brazilian association football player (1887-1957)
Gilbert Leon Hime (2 November 1887 – 15 August 1957) was a Brazilian footballer who played as a forward.
Career
Hime began his career at Botafogo, and in 1906 he was the club's top scorer in the first edition of the Campeonato Carioca. He played for the club until 1909, even though he had to combine the matches with his work out the football, often acting for the reserve teams instead of the main teams. In 1910 he transferred to Fluminense, where he played until 1913.
Hime was also the author of a historic record in Brazilian football, when he scored 9 goals in the same game, in the match 24–0 against Sport Club Mangueira, which took place on 30 May 1909. The record was only surpassed by Dario on 6 April 1976, when he scored 10 goals in the Sport Recife 14–0 Santo Amaro match.

Why this record matters
The phrase “brazilian association football player (1887-1957)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Biographical claims are most persuasive when dates, appointments and relationships can be traced to records created close to the events described. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 17, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q10289529. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1887, 1957, 1906 and 1909.
A concise life account rarely captures disputed attribution, private networks or the changing language used to describe a career. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
