Enéas de Camargo (18 March 1954 – 27 December 1988), simply known as Enéas, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a winger.

Career[edit]

Enéas started his career in Portuguesa futsal, but was soon brought to the field football. He was largely responsible for the Campeonato Paulista title, although divided, in 1973. Often accused of “sleeping” on the field, he was without a doubt one of the greatest forwards that ever played for Portuguesa. He also played for Bologna and Palmeiras without the same performance.[1][2]

International career[edit]

Enéas played for the Brazil national team on three occasions: against Mexico in a friendly match in 1974, and against Paraguay (where he scored a goal) and Uruguay in the 1976 Taça do Atlântico.[3][4]

Death[edit]

Enéas died at age 34 in a car accident after crashing, in the back of a truck on the Av. Cruzeiro do Sul bridge, São Paulo. He spent 127 days hospitalized in treatment in the ICU, but on 27 December 1988, passed away.[1][5]
