Career
With an unusual height for the time, da Guia became one of the first specialists in headed goals in Brazilian football. He is the greatest scorer in the history of Bangu AC, with 226 goals in 335 appearances. He was the Campeonato Carioca top goal-scorer in 1930 and again in 1934.[1]
In 1930, he refused to participate in the FIFA World Cup due to the inconvenience of the train journey that the Brazil team took to get to Uruguay.[2] He also played for America, Flamengo, Vasco and Canto do Rio. His nickname was "Tijolo" (brick).[3]
