Career[edit]
Revealed by Bangu, Plácido was part of the state champion squad in 1933. In 1935, he repeated the feat with America. On 30 July 1939 he played with a broken arm against Vasco da Gama, going down in the club's history as one of the greatest idols.[1] He scored a total of 167 goals for America.[2]
