Versatile and capable of playing in several attacking positions, Robson began his career at Galicia. He also played for Paysandu before arriving at Bahia, where he was state champion in 1982, 1983 and 1984. In 1985 he moved to Cruzeiro, where he played 205 matches and scored 36 goals, being state champion in 1987 scoring the decisive goal against Atlético Mineiro.[1] He was champion again for Goiás in 1989 and runner-up in the 1990 Campeonato Paulista for Novorizontino, in the "hillbilly final" against Bragantino. He would still become champion in 1993 with América, repeating his successful duo with Hamilton, with whom he founded a football school after retiring.[2]
