Neto Guerino

Guerino Minervino Neto (born 24 March 1950), commonly known as Neto Guerino, is a Brazilian former footballer who played as a striker.

Career In the early 1970s, Guerino played for Atlético Mineiro and Nacional in the Campeonato Brasileiro, before moving abroad to play in Greece.

In 1974, he joined PAOK, being a key member of the squad that won the 1976 league title, scoring 11 goals in 30 matches. On 2 May 1976, PAOK prevailed 1–0 over title contenders AEK Athens with Guerino scoring the winner at the 89th minute, giving the Double-Headed Eagle of the North a four-point lead (point system 2–1–0) that almost clinched the title. The photo of Guerino's celebration, hanging on the railings of Toumba Stadium's Gate 4, has become iconic, as it depicts the moment that the team sealed its first ever league title and the outburst of PAOK fans. Regarded as one of the best foreign players in club's history, Guerino wore the No 11 white-black jersey for over nine years, netting 66 goals in 233 league appearances.

In December 1983, he moved to Apollon Kalamarias and played for two years before retiring.
