Career
Born in Ramalde, Portugal, Julinho started in Boavista F.C., debuting for the first team at only 15, and staying till 1940. After a short stint at Académico F.C., he caught the attention of S.L. Benfica which signed him in 1942, despite better offers from FC Porto.[1][2]
At Benfica, he went on to be part of the club's offensive line that included Mário Rui, Espírito Santo, Rogério Pipi and Arsénio and was dubbed the Os Cinco Diabos Vermelhos (Five Red Devils).[2] Mainly a centre forward, but could also play as inside forward, he made his debut on 11 October 1942 against Atlético and in the following eight seasons scored over 150 league goals, to help the club win three league titles.[3][4]
He took part in the 12–2 trashing of Porto, on 7 February 1943, when he bagged four goals ,[5] as well, the 7–2 win against Sporting C.P. on 28 April 1946.[6] He scored six in a 13–1 win against A.D. Sanjoanense on 27 April 1947, one of the highest wins ever in Primeira Liga history.[2][6] Already in his thirties, he scored the winning goal against FC Girondins de Bordeaux at the Latin Cup Final on 18 June 1950,[7] and made his last appearance for the Eagles on 8 March 1953 against Barreirense,[2] with 205 goals scored on 200 matches, and he still remains, the seventh highest goalscorer in club history.[8]
International career
He was capped only once for Portugal, in a two-nill loss against Spain on 21 March 1948 in Madrid.
