Career
editHime began his career at Botafogo FC, and in 1906 he was the club's top scorer in the first edition of the Campeonato Carioca. He played for the club until 1909, even though he had to combine the matches with his work out the football, often acting for the reserve teams instead of the main teams. In 1910 he transferred to Fluminense, where he played until 1913.[1]
Hime was also the author of a historic record in Brazilian football, when he scored 9 goals in the same game, in the match 24–0 against Sport Club Mangueira, which took place on 30 May 1909.[2][3] The record was only surpassed by Dario on 6 April 1976, when he scored 10 goals in the Sport Recife 14–0 Santo Amaro match.
