Américo Lopes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Américo Lopes (born Santa Maria de Lamas, 6 March 1933), known as Américo, was a Portuguese football (soccer) goalkeeper.

He played most of his career for FC Porto. Despite being the number one and, probably, the best, of all the three goalkeepers selected for the 1966 World Cup finals, he was the only that never played. However, he become the most caped of them, playing 15 times for the National Team, from the 3-2 win over Swtizerland, in 29 April 1964, in a friendly match, to the 2-4 loss to Greece, in 11 December 1968, in the World Cup qualifyings.
