Antônio Ferreira (10 August 1942 – 26 January 1990), usually known as Toninho Guerreiro, was a Brazilian footballer.
He played for
World Club Cup
in 1963.
He also played for
São Paulo FC in the 1970s where he won the Paulista Championship twice being their top scorer. In 1976, he played abroad in the National Soccer League with Montreal Castors.[1]
Many[who?] say he should have gone to the 1970 FIFA World Cup and was on João Saldanha's list. In the end, Dadá Maravilha took his place and the rumour is that he made it because of Brazil President's wish. He played only once for Brazil scoring a single goal.
