Carlos Pereira (footballer, born 1962)

Carlos Eduardo Deus Pereira (born 25 December 1962) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played mainly as a right-back.

Born in Lisbon, a youth graduate from Benfica, he made his debut on 8 November 1981 in an away win over Belenenses.

[1] With the right-back position being occupied by Pietra and Veloso, Pereira had very little opportunities to play, being loaned out to Farense in 1986.

[2][3] In 1988, he moved to Farense,[4] and helped the team reach the 1990 Taça de Portugal Final, lost to Estrela da Amadora.

However, having sustained a serious injury in the upper extremity of femur, while still at Benfica, Pereira ended his career abruptly at age 30 in 1991.
