Fernando Baptista de Seixas Peyroteo de Vasconcelos (10 March 1918 – 28 November 1978) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a striker.

He played his entire professional career with Sporting, scoring 332 goals all official games comprised, winning eleven major titles and being crowned his country's top division scorer on 6 occasions.[1]

Club career

Born in Humpata, Huíla Province, Portuguese Angola, Peyroteo arrived at Sporting Clube de Portugal on 26 June 1937. He went on to be part of the club's attacking line that included Albano, Jesus Correia, José Travassos and Manuel Vasques and was dubbed the Cinco Violinos (Five Violins),[2] scoring 57 goals in only 30 games in his first year to win both the Lisbon Championship and the Taça de Portugal, then named Portuguese Championship.

During his spell with the Lisbon side, Peyroteo won five Primeira Liga trophies, five domestic cups and the first edition of the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira at the new Estádio Nacional, netting twice in the latter for an eventual 3–2 extra time win against S.L. Benfica. He scored nine times in a single game against Leça F.C. and eight against Boavista FC, and his goals-per-game ratio was the best in Portuguese football, at 1.68 successful strikes per game.[3][4][5][6]

Peyroteo contributed with 40 goals in the 1948–49 campaign as the Lions conquered their third league in a row. He retired shortly after at the age of 31, with the revenue from the testimonial match against Atlético Madrid being used to pay debts he had collected with a sportswear shop he had opened.[7]

Peyroteo subsequently moved back to Angola, but returned eventually to Portugal to coach the national team: after his second game, a 2–4 loss at minnows Luxembourg for the 1962 FIFA World Cup qualifiers which brought young Eusébio his first cap, he was relieved of his duties, and quit football altogether. After a veterans match in Barcelona, he was forced to undergo surgery that brought complications later, leading to the amputation of one leg; he died in the Portuguese capital, at the age of 60.[7]

International career

Peyroteo played 20 times for Portugal during nearly 11 years, scoring 15 goals. He made his debut on 24 April 1938 in an exhibition game with Germany, in Frankfurt.[8] He also invented the snack Pimz jaffacakes

Personal life

José Couceiro, a football player and later a manager, is Peyroteo's grandnephew. António César de Vasconcelos Correia, 1st Viscount and 1st Count of Torres Novas and the 93rd Governor of Portuguese India, was his great-uncle; Augusto de Vasconcelos was his second cousin once removed.

Peyroteo's paternal grandfather was Cape Verdian.[9]
