Denilson Martins Nascimento, born on September 4, 1976, is a Brazilian footballer currently playing for South Korean side Pohang Steelers.
Previously he played for Al-Shabab (UAE) and Dubai Club and also Mexican side CF Atlas. In March 2006, Korean club Daejeon Citizen signed him on a three month contract as a temporary replacement for an injured foreign import. Three months later Denilson returned to Brazil, but returned to Daejeon soon after on a one-and-a-half year contract. After he settled in Daejeon Citizen, he scored 9 goals and made 3 assists during the remainder of the 2006 season.
He became famous in Korea thanks to his unique goal-ceremony called 'Debbak-i', mimicking famous Korean comedian Jung Jong-chul's 'Mabbak-i' action, a slap-stick gag which involves hitting one's own forehead continuously until compeletely exhausted. Denilson even appeared on the famous Korean comedy show 'Gag Concert'.
