played for more than one season with cosmos

Marinho played for the Cosmos for more than one season, maybe until the last season. Ghosts&empties 16:24, 11 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You are right. I had a replica Jersey of his and a HUGE crush on him for one season. I remember him being there at least thru the 1981 season. I don't think he was traded until after the 1981 season but maybe I'm wrong. it was unusual for mid-season trades but they did happen. He was a nice enough guy to the fans at the meadowlands- always happy to see the die hards who waited for the players to come out after the game. LiPollis (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the article refer to him in past tense?

Is he dead? LiPollis (talk) 15:15, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He's actually dead now - wasn't in 2009

He wasn't when I asked this originally, but he has died now. See obit link: [1] LiPollis (talk) 14:52, 2 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
