Career

edit

Beijoca is considered one of the greatest players in the history of EC Bahia, with 106 goals scored and state champion on six occasions. At the age of 16, he debuted in the professional team and formed an attacking partnership with José Sanfilippo, and scored his first goal for Bahia in a last-minute draw against SC Corinthians in the 1970 Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa.[1][2]

He played for a large number of clubs, most notably Flamengo, where he played in 1979 and played 9 games, scoring 1 goal.[3]

Style of play

edit

Beijoca attracted attention on the field due to his physical form, always overweight and moving little on the field. He faced a major problem with alcoholism during his career, which was why he did not sign long contracts, in addition to frequently getting involved in fights. Still, he had an outstanding ability to score goals.[1][2]
