Football career
Silva was born in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo. After starting playing with Guarani Futebol Clube he moved to Clube Atlético Bragantino in 1990, where he spent the following two seasons. Subsequently he was acquired up by Spain's Deportivo de La Coruña, for 250 million pesetas (approximately €1.6 million), arriving at the same time as countryman Bebeto.
With the Galicians Silva was an everpresent fixture, only suspensions and injuries preventing him from being cast into the starting XI – in the 1994–95 campaign he only appeared in six La Liga matches and, already 36, was limited to 20 in his final year – as he helped the club to one league, two cups and three supercups, adding to this the team's five participations in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the semifinals in 2003–04: after a 0–0 away draw against FC Porto, he missed the second leg due to suspension, and Depor lost 0–1.
On 22 May 2005, after 13 years with Deportivo, Silva was replaced by longtime understudy Aldo Duscher during a 0–3 home loss against RCD Mallorca, bidding farewell to the club and football in the same match as another club legend, Fran. With Brazil he collected 58 caps in ten years, playing all the matches and minutes (except for the second half of the group stage match against Sweden) in the nation's victorious campaign at the 1994 FIFA World Cup; in that year, he was named by FIFA as the ninth best player in the world.[1]
