Bruno was signed by Leeds after George Graham spotted him while
watching Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and is now a first-team regular. He
has a powerful shot and good ball control and generally operates in a
left-sided role.
He scored a couple of excellent goals in 1997-98, and set up a few
more, but needs to control his temper: he's picked up quite a few
bookings and has been in danger of seeing the red card on at least 2
occasions so far.
Injured at the start of the 98-99 season, he worked his way back to
fitness and celebrated his return with a goal against Wimbledon. He
never really regained his place in the midfield under David O'Leary In
summer 1999, he was mentioned as make-weight in several transfer
deals, but remains at the club - but wants to leave unless he gets
first team games.
He moved on to Sheffield United in October 1999 for £500,000
but returned to Portugal - on loan at Uniao Leiria - after falling out
with the management and then moved to SC Beira-Mar permanently in
2001. In 2002-03 he moved on to play for Santa Clara in the Portuguese
1 Liga.
Darryl Powell of Sheffield Wednesday says: bruno was a pro i played
golf with him a couple of times he was nearly as good at golf then
football.
Bruno's teacher! says: I was at Bruno's head teacher at school in
Portugal. He was always a delight at sports, but was a cheeky rascal
in class.
