Memoirs of Peyroteo
On a Sunday of football, on March 10, 1918, one of the most extraordinary forwards of all time in the history of football was born in Angola, his name being Fernando Baptista de Seixas Peyroteo.
His story at Sporting Clube de Portugal began to be written in letters of gold (meaning with goals), right in his first game in the green-and-white shirt, in 1937, in a cup match against the eternal rival Sport Lisboa e Benfica in which he scored two goals in the Lions' 5-3 victory. Thus began a story of goals, goals… and more goals.
But it was not only at Sporting Clube de Portugal that Fernando Peyroteo left his mark. He also made history at the Portuguese Football Federation: he played 20 games in the national team shirt (scoring 13 goals), was captain, and even became national team manager. A rare case of service rendered to Portugal.
Discover the autobiography, with previously unpublished images, of the greatest Portuguese goalscorer of all time.
