About Pinga, Artur de Sousa 1909-1963

The rst great player in the history of Futebol Clube do Porto was the Madeiran Artur de Sousa, known as “Pinga”. He represented the club for 16 years, during which time he was considered the best Portuguese footballer ever. He began to make a name for himself playing for Marítimo, and it was with this club that he won his rst international cap in 1930, in a match against the Spanish national team, in the city of Porto. The managers of F.C. Porto didn’t let him out of their sight and at the end of that year, Artur de Sousa arrived in Porto to represent the club until 1946, as a player and, until his death in 1963, as a coach.
