He got fat much before he retired. The last three seasons at Madrid he was overweight but still the most explosive player in the box.

He was a sight to behold. At least 5 kilos overweight (as a professional football player!) and he could dash in front of defenders in front of him. I saw him 2-3 meters behind a defender during a 10-15 meter sprint where he ended 2-3 meters in front of the defender at the end.

Really explosive!

I remember watching him play. His free kicks/long range shots were amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iGbjmD3btJg
That's Roberto Carlos who plays midfield

Carlos actually plays left back.
