Career

Player

He first attracted attention for his local team of FC Barreirense. After that he moved to SL Benfica, where he played from 1965/66 to 1974/75, and Portimonense 1975/1976 before ending his career at age 32. As a Benfica player he achieved the status of Barreiro locomotiv, he was the first wing defender doing the entire corridor. He played in one European Champions Cup of the lost finals of 1965.

He had 15 caps for the national team, scoring 1 goals, and played with the team that reached 2nd place at the 1972 MINICOPA final, losing only in an epic final with Brasil (1-0), being considered the best wing left defender that year.

The Portuguese team, which was largely composed of Benfica players, including veterans Eusébio and Jaime Graça, and youngsters Humberto Coelho and Jordão, lost the final only at the 89th minute, when Jairzinho finally scored.
