bio: |
  Born in Mozambique in 1942, Eusébio da Silva Ferreira arrived at Benfica and became the club's greatest player, finishing as their all-time top scorer with 473 goals in 440 competitive matches. He carried Portugal to third place at the 1966 World Cup with nine goals in six appearances, still the nation's record, and won the Ballon d'Or in 1965 after finishing runner-up twice before. At Benfica he claimed eleven Primeira Liga titles and a European Cup, reaching three other European Cup finals and topping the competition's scoring charts three times in four years. He won the Bola de Prata as the Portuguese league's top scorer seven times and claimed the European Golden Boot twice, in 1968 and 1973. From retirement until his death in January 2014, he remained an ambassador for the game, named by Pelé to the FIFA 100 and by Portugal as their Golden Player for the fifty years through 2003.
