Neno

Adelino Augusto da Graça Barbosa Barros (27 January 1962 – 10 June 2021), known as Neno, was a Portuguese professional footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He appeared in 242 Primeira Liga games over 15 seasons, representing mainly Vitória de Guimarães and Benfica.

Club career Born in Cidade Velha, Portuguese Cape Verde to a teacher and a housewife as one of seven siblings, Neno started his career with F.C. Barreirense, moving to Vitória S.C. in 1984. After one season, already in the Primeira Liga, he signed with S.L. Benfica, originally backing up legendary Manuel Bento.

After a single campaign at Vitória F.C. and a second spell at Guimarães, Neno rejoined Benfica, going on to experience an interesting battle for first-choice status with Silvino, who also played with both Vitória sides (but not in the same periods); he was the starter in most of 1990–91 and the entire 1993–94, which finished with victory in the league.
