Alberto António Monteiro (18 July 1928 – 20 October 2015), simply known as Fialho, is a former Portuguese footballer who played as a forward.
Career
Born in Cape Verde, Fialho began his career at Bissau e Benfica, a club associated with Benfica. In 1953, the 25-year old signed with Benfica and made his first appearance on 4 October of the same year, in a 2–0 win over Lusitano de Évora.[1]
With strong competition from Arsenio Duarte, José Águas and Rogério Pipi,[2] his playing time was restricted, but he still appeared in 18 games during his first year and 17 in his second, winning the league title in the latter.[3][4] After just game in 1955–56,[5] he departed the club to play for Lusitano de Èvora.[6]
He spent six years in Lusitano, with mild success. After retiring, he continued to live in the city, where he died in 20 October 2015.[6]
