Career edit
Born in the Pirituba neighborhood in São Paulo, Tonho began his career at SE Palmeiras, being Émerson Leão's immediate reserve in 1974 and 1975.[1] Náutico and Francana, and in 1981 he arrived at Santo André, the club where he played for most of his career. In 1985, he was loaned to São Paulo.[2] On 11 April 1985, in a match against Grêmio, valid for the 1985 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, he conceded an unusual goal from a free kick by Paulo Bonamigo, where he didn't hit the ball because he believed the shot would be an indirect free kick.[3] He received the nickname "Tabuleiro Voador" (flying chessboard) at the club due to the checkered shirt he wore.[4]
