His career also included spells with V. Guimarães, Tirsense, Covilhã, Espinho, Marinhense, Vilanovense and Aliados de Loredelo.

He is remembered for two victories over Eusébio’s Benfica in 1965, first netting the only goal of a March meeting.

He then opened the scoring in a 2-0 win that September, a match which marked Pavão’s Porto debut.
