I just came across this site by mistake, some of guys my like to see what some of today's coaches and ex players look like http://cromodoscromos.blogspot.com/ enjoy it ex Porto coach #80 Pavao died on the soccer field, he was the Porto captain at 26 Silvino, the goakeeper coach for Chelsea Check out #9 Rachao last year won the portuguese cup, coaching Setubal, far out Inacio #25 #4 Manuel Jose coach of Ah-Ahly with Beira-Mar #3 Jorge Jesus the coach of Leiria
Great Find Frank! I actually have alot of these cromos from the 70s, 80s and 90s... I had forgotten about Caio Cambalhota!
can you post the photo of Rachao last year win of the portuguese cup, and Manuel Jose with Beira-Mar? thanks Tibi was a good keeper, one of all time Porto best keepers was Acursio.
I actually remember alot of these guys. Bobo is pretty recent, i remember him at Boavista. But the best is Toninho Metralha and Vermelhinho who actually played for Porto. Some names that were left out where: Vata Tanta Wilson Folha (the original one)
Generation of today's coach's #3 Helder Jesus [Leiria] #4 Manuel Jose [Ah-Ahly Egypt] #9 Rachao[ex Setubal today with Uniao da Madeira] #14 Mario Reis [Santa Clara] #15 Andre [Porto assistant] #18 Toni Conceicao [ E Amadora] #25 Inacio [Beira-Mar] #39 Humberto Coelho the portuguese coach Euro 2000 #49 Henrique Nunes #68 Silvino [Chelsea goalkeeper coach] #78 Toni ex coach of Benfica #80 Fernando Santos [AEK Coach] #82 Diamantino Antonio Fidalgo Tv announcer #56 Sheu Benfica sports director
you got remember #19 Pedro Xavier he retired a few years ago by the way #38 Seninho who played for the Cosmos and was part of the championship teams with the Cosmos and the Chicago Sting.
Like i said i actually remember alot of them, i was surprised that i did. Growing up, my favourite non-Benfica player was Folha from Boavista. Every time he scored he would do a flip!!! For a kid, watching at home, that is amazing.
don't forget Brito #29 with Rio Ave in 1984 is also an assistant coach for Mourinho at Chelsea (better known as Baltemar Brito who I had the pleasure of meeting this past summer)
The amazing thing about these Cromos is not the players itself...I was looking at the backgrounds....And the stands on most of these Cromos look very full,even the small clubs had big attendances.....Its a depressing tought on how Soccer in our country is losing spectators...
That's photoshop now-a-days. Anyway, great site. Lot's of history. Heck ,I had no idea of some teams that made it into the first div. like Amora and Alcobaca for example
I got from the site: "em 82/83 já estava no Ginásio de Alcobaça, equipa que passou como um OVNI pela Primeira Divisão. " Also another lesser known club, Recreio de Agueda.
