Carlos António do Carmo Costa Gomes (18 January 1932, in Barreiro – 18 October 2005, in Lisbon) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a goalkeeper. He was also a football manager.

Career

He started his career in Barreirense, before being transferred to Sporting, in 1950, aged 18, where he was the substitute of another legendary goalkeeper, João Azevedo. In just a year, he was the number 1 of the Sporting team, where he played until 1957/58, and was a four-time national champion (1951/52, 1952/53, 1953/54 and 1957/58) also winning the Cup of Portugal in 1958.

During the golden years of his career, he played 18 times for the National Team. His first game, on 22 November 1953, was a friendly match against South Africa, which Portugal won 3–1. His last game, on 7 May 1958, was a 1–2 defeat by England; another friendly match.

After his demands were refused by Sporting, he moved to Spain, where he represented Granada and Real Oviedo. He returned to Portugal, to play for Atlético, in 1961/62. He was a known opponent of the fascist regime and it is believed, like he claimed, that the allegations of rape against him were a set-up, created by the political police of the regime to force him to leave football.Шаблон:Citation needed After a simulated injury in an Atlético game with Vitória Guimarães, he escaped to Spain.
