Luís Manuel Rodrigues Alves (born 28 September 1971) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a forward.
Football career
Born in Lisbon, Alves spent the majority of his career playing for third division clubs. He made his professional debuts in 1992–93, with C.D. Portosantense in the fourth level.
Alves first came to prominence in the 1999–2000 season, scoring nine goals for C.S.D. Câmara de Lobos in division three[1] and subsequently earning a contract with C.D. Nacional of the second division, where he appeared sparingly over the course of three seasons, being relegated in his second.
In the 2001 summer, after a failed second stint with Nacional, Alves moved to another club in Madeira, A.D. Camacha, netting 16 goals in his only season.[2] He then signed for his fifth club in the region, A.D. Pontassolense (also in the third level), where he repeated individual numbers in his first year.[3]
In 2003–04, 32-year old Alves scored 15 goals for Pontassolense, thus becoming division three (South Zone)'s runner-up topscorer behind S.C. Olhanense's Edinho.[4] He only found the net five times in the following campaign[5] and, subsequently, moved to amateur football where he played a couple of seasons for two clubs before retiring.
