Deyvison Rogério da Silva (born 9 January 1985), mostly known as Bobô, is a Brazilian footballer who plays for Sydney FC in the A-League as a striker.
He was Besiktas' leading goalscorer in the 2006–07 season, with 20 goals in all competitions. Bobô started the 2007–08 season by scoring three goals in the first three matches, most notably a pair of goals in the 3–0 victory over FC Sheriff in the Champions League 2nd qualifying round. His early season form prompted the Beşiktaş board to agree an extension of his contract until 2011.
On 20 October 2007 Beşiktaş faced Trabzonspor, an encounter subject to intense media interest. Trabzonspor took an early lead through Gökdeniz and were 2–0 up by the sixth minute thanks to a goal from Yattara. But a Burak header put Beşiktaş back into contention and a penalty from Delgado equalized the score just before half time. In the second half, Beşiktaş goalkeeper Rüştü was sent off for handling outside of the box in the 79th minute, and Bobô replaced him until the end of the game. He made several saves, helping Beşiktaş secure a vital away victory. Bobô later admitted that he had been worried about Trabzonspor's attacks on goal, particularly a free-kick by playmaker Ceyhun and a header by striker Umut. He told the press:
"I applied for goal as keeper to help my team. I wasn't physically ready at the beginning of season. I had difficulties with my knee and back. I had attended the games late minutes."
Additionally he said:
"Cisse was also willing to replace the goalkeeper. I just realized that I felt good and thought that I wouldn't concede a goal. The threats from near by our line were dangerous. I was really dreading free-kick of Ceyhun Eriş. To be a keeper is a difficult role. You could concede in any tiny error."
