Ricardo Formosinho

Born in Setúbal, Formosinho spent most of his career with Vitória de Setúbal, making his Primeira Liga debut during 1974–75 and finishing the season with only two league appearances. In the following years he became a regular for the Sado River club, scoring a career-best six goals in 26 matches in 1976–77 as it finished in sixth position. After three years in the top flight, two with Varzim and one with Amora, Formosinho returned to Vitória for a further five campaigns, the last being spent in the Segunda Liga. In the 1987 off-season, the 31-year-old returned to the latter tier and joined Farense, appearing in 27 games in his first year (one goal) and being relegated in his second. Formosinho retired from football in June 1991 after one season with another Algarve side, Olhanense, in division three. He appeared in 286 top-division matches over 14 seasons, netting 20 times.
