Túlio Humberto Pereira Costa (born 2 June 1969), sometimes simply referred as Túlio or Túlio Maravilha ("Wonder Túlio"), is a Brazilian international footballer who plays as a forward.
He played for many Brazilian club teams, such as Goiás, Botafogo, Corinthians, Vitória, Fluminense, Cruzeiro and Vila Nova and several lower-division teams in Brazil.
In Europe, he had short-lived career, playing for Sion and Újpest. His best years were while he was at Botafogo, where he was three times the Brazilian top scorer (1989, 1994 and 1995) and won the 1995 Campeonato Brasileiro.
After this he became a journeyman and never played for the same team for more than one season at most. He scored a controversial goal against Universidad Católica in a Copa Libertadores match.
Having already eliminated the goalkeeper from the play, Tulio stopped short of the goal line with the ball, turned around and flicked the ball up, tapping it in with a heel kick.
He named the stylish goal "Tuleta" after his name.According to himself, he reached the mark of thousand goals in 2014, at 44 years old.
This number was only reached, however, by counting goals in friendlies, commemorative games and amateur football.
