Club career

Born in Torres Vedras, Lisbon District, Pereira played at club level for C.F. Os Belenenses and S.C. Beira-Mar. He appeared in 302 Primeira Liga matches with the former, retiring with the latter at almost 40 and moving with his wife to Barcelona, completely removing himself from the football world.[1]

International career

Pereira earned 11 caps for Portugal, making his debut on 19 April 1965 in a 1–0 away win over Turkey for the 1966 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, at the age of nearly 34. In the finals in England, manager Otto Glória picked Joaquim Carvalho for the first game against Hungary, which ended with a 3–1 victory, but Pereira would be first choice for the remainder of the tournament, with the national team finishing in a best-ever third place.[2]

Pereira played his last international on 13 November 1966, appearing in a 1–2 home loss to Sweden for the UEFA Euro 1968 qualifying stage.

gollark: It's weird how the system for this somehow manages to simultaneously annoy people who aren't in the wrong constantly, and yet also ignore legitimate issues.
gollark: I imagine they test them in specific scenarios, not really on-road use.
