Playing career
editBorn in Lamego, Viseu District, Silva emerged through FC Porto's youth system, but could never be more than third choice with its first team. In the 1995–96 season he was part of the Primeira Liga-winning squad by playing four minutes in one game against C.F. Estrela da Amadora, and previously made his professional debut at Rio Ave FC.[1]
Silva spent the better part of his career with two modest clubs in the top flight, S.C. Salgueiros – who had previously loaned him to Porto[2][3]– and C.D. Santa Clara,[4][5] reaching the Portugal national team for his only cap on 15 November 2000, where he featured one minute in a friendly with Israel after coming on as a substitute for Quim.[6] In the 2003–04 campaign he played with the Azores side in the second tier and, from there onwards, competed mainly in the third.[7]
In summer 2008, the 36-year-old Silva signed with U.D. Oliveirense, recently promoted to division two.[8] After one season he called it quits, joining the club's coaching staff as goalkeeper coach;[9] however, a string of injuries propelled him back to action, and he eventually appeared in five matches during 2009–10 (three wins, one loss, one draw, seven goals conceded), with his team narrowly missing out on another promotion.[10][11][12]
Coaching career
editAfter retiring for good, Silva worked as goalkeeping coach for several teams.[13][14]
Personal life
editSilva's younger brother, Francisco, was also a footballer. A defender, they shared teams at C.D. Trofense and Oliveirense.[15]
