Career

Born in Camapuã, Mato Grosso do Sul, Lima started in Operário-MS. After being top-scorer of the 1982 and 1983 Campeonato Sul-Mato-Grossense,[1] he joined Corithians in 1984, who loaned him to Santos. In 1987, he moved to Grêmio, where he would take part in Campeonato Gaúcho titles in 1987 and 1988, being top-scorer in the latter, alongside Valdo, Cuca, Astengo and Mazarópi.[2][3]

He then moved to Portugal, joining Benfica,[4] where he would reunite with Valdo, playing sparsely throughout three seasons, but notably scoring three goals in the 1989–90 European Cup campaign, on the way to the final.[5][6] In 1991, he signed with Internacional, winning another Campeonato Gaúcho, and then moving through a number of clubs, retiring at age 35.[3]

In 2012, he ran for the city council in Campo Grande for the Brazilian Labour Party.[7]
