FC Porto to premiere Born to Score on Fernando Gomes, 21 November | OneFootball

Premiering next Friday, November 21, at 9 PM, the documentary “Born to Score” revisits the career of Fernando Gomes, the eternal “Bibota” and the top scorer in the history of Futebol Clube do Porto.

Produced by the internal services of Futebol Clube do Porto, the film follows the entire life of Fernando Gomes, from his first plays in the Campanhã neighborhood to his recognition as a reference for the club and Portuguese football.

“Born to Score” includes testimonies from Fernando Gomes and iconic figures of the club such as José Maria Pedroto or Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, and is primarily structured from 34 exclusive interviews with people who witnessed different phases of his journey.

From his family circle to childhood friends who witnessed the emergence of his goal-scoring talent, to teammates from FC Porto's youth ranks who trained under António Feliciano, and naturally, many colleagues from the Porto locker room – like João Pinto, Rodolfo Reis, Paulo Futre, Jaime Magalhães, or Jaime Pacheco, among others.

Since Fernando Gomes' career extended beyond the blue and white, the documentary also includes accounts from players of CUF, his initial opponents in his senior debut in 1974; historical rivals like Humberto Coelho or Toni; colleagues from Sporting de Gijón, where he spent two seasons, such as captain Joaquín or Giménez; and figures from Sporting CP, including Jorge Cadete and then-president José Sousa Cintra.

A collection of memories about a player who scored over 400 goals in his career, 355 of which were for FC Porto – a record that remains unmatched to this day.

The world premiere of “Born to Score” will take place on FC Porto's YouTube channel at 9 PM on November 21, the eve of what would have been his birthday.

“Born to Score” is another internal production by FC Porto dedicated to honoring one of its historical personalities, following the documentary “José Maria Pedroto – A Superior Man,” released last January.
