Career
[edit]Gatinho joined Benfica in 1930, making his debut on 19 April 1931, against Olhanense, helping them win the Campeonato de Portugal.[1][2] He competed with Ralph Bailão, João Oliveira and Luís Costa, playing mainly in the Campeonato de Portugal.[3] In 1932–33, he won the Campeonato de Lisboa, playing 6 games in the competition.[4]
His breakthrough started in 1934–35, when he joined Gustavo Teixeira in the defence, and played 33 games, more than anyone else in the club.[5] The following year, he helped the club win their first league title, playing 29 games in total, only bettered by Gustavo Teixeira.[6][7] However, 1935–36 was his last year at Benfica, as Gatinho left the club after 88 games, moving to Belenenses, where he spent the next five seasons.[1]
