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

The documentary “Born to Score” premieres next Friday, November 21, at 9:00 PM, revisiting the career of Fernando Gomes, the eternal “Bibota” and top scorer in the history of Futebol Clube do Porto.

Produced by the internal media team of Futebol Clube do Porto, the film follows the entire life of Fernando Gomes, from his first moves in the Campanhã neighborhood to his consecration as a club legend and a reference in Portuguese football.

“Born to Score” features testimonials from Fernando Gomes and emblematic figures of the club such as José Maria Pedroto and Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa, and is mainly structured around 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 dressing room—such as João Pinto, Rodolfo Reis, Paulo Futre, Jaime Magalhães, or Jaime Pacheco, among others.

Since Fernando Gomes’s career went beyond the blue and white, the documentary also includes accounts from CUF players, his first opponents when he debuted as a senior in 1974; historic rivals like Humberto Coelho or Toni; teammates 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 unsurpassed to this day.

The world premiere of “Born to Score” will take place on FC Porto’s YouTube channel at 9:00 PM on November 21, the eve of what would have been his birthday.

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