Rui Filipe Tavares de Bastos (8 March 1968 – 28 August 1994) was a Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Vale de Cambra, Porto metropolitan area,[1] Rui Filipe began his career with Gil Vicente F.C. in the Segunda Liga, then spent two seasons with S.C. Espinho, 1988–89 in the Primeira Liga, at the age of 20. In 1990 he returned to Gil, still on loan from FC Porto,[2][3] helping the Barcelos side to retain their top-division status after finishing 13th.[4]

Rui Filipe returned to the Estádio das Antas in summer 1991, scoring four goals in 25 matches in his first year as the club won the league. In the 1993–94 UEFA Champions League his team reached the semi-finals of the tournament, with him opening a 5–0 first group-stage away win over SV Werder Bremen.[5][2]

Rui Filipe continued to be an important midfield element for Porto in the following campaigns. At the beginning of 1994–95 he scored in the first fixture against S.C. Braga, repeating the feat in the first leg of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira against S.L. Benfica but also being sent off, eventually claiming the trophy.[6][2]

International career

[edit]

Shortly after signing for Porto, Rui Filipe reached the Portugal national team, going on to be capped six times.[7] He made his debut on 31 May in the 1992 edition of the U.S. Cup, coming on as a late substitute for Luís Figo in the 0–0 draw with Italy.[8][6]

Death

[edit]

On 28 August 1994, Rui Filipe died in a car accident in the Figueira da Foz municipality of Gândara, aged only 26.[9][10]
