  Over the course of 13 seasons, he amassed Primeira Liga totals of 262 matches and 61 goals.
  
  ## Football career
  
  Born in Rio de Janeiro, Gomes played for CR Vasco da Gama before moving to Portugal. After a brief spell at C.F. União de Lamas he signed with Boavista FC, where he spent three seasons before joining fellow Primeira Liga side S.L. Benfica on 11 August 1979; he was the first ever foreign player to sign for the 75-year-old club.
  
  During his three-year tenure, Gomes faced stiff competition from César, Zoran Filipović, Nené and Reinaldo, being sparingly used and leaving Lisbon after a disagreement with manager Sven-Göran Eriksson. He subsequently signed for S.C. Braga, going on to score nearly 50 competitive goals; he retired at the age of 37, after one year apiece with AD Fafe and R.D. Águeda (both in the Segunda Liga).
