'75-'76 team photo donated by CSD. What club is it ? There's one future coach of Benfica seen here as a player. Who is he ?
Beira Mar, and I believe Manuel Jose played on that team. I see a couple of other familiar faces - Eusebio and Antonio Sousa BTW, what's up with the afro on guy standing 5th from the left??
The guy on the top left is Abel (played also for Benfica, Porto and Penafiel when Antonio Oliveira was a player coach) he's lived in the US for like the last 20 years (was my coach for 2 seasons on a team I played for - not sure if PassItOn was on my team back then?!). You can see Eusebio and in front of him you have Antonio Sousa (as you know eventually went on to Porto and then Sporting). Manuel Jose (standing 2nd from the right) and look how the bearded guy on the bottom row resembles a young Chalana so much! Also notice the crow for a game. I sat in those stands many times (Estadio Mario Duarte in Aveiro)
This one may be tough. . . From the first round of the Taca de Portugal, a match between two former top division clubs. Which teams are seen here playing ?
