Player

As a junior player, he started at the junior team of FC Porto. As professional player, he played for Académica de Coimbra and SL Benfica, before ending his career in Belenenses, at 1977/78, due to a serious injury. During his player days in Coimbra, Artur Jorge was student at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Coimbra, graduating in Germanic Philology by the University of Lisbon in 1975, after his transfer for Lisbon's Benfica. In the overall, as a player, he won four Portuguese Football Championships, two Portuguese Football Cups and two silver boots, as the prize for best goalscorers. Despite having been one of the top scorers of Benfica during his time at the Lisbon team, the concorrence of other great forwards, like Eusébio, Jordão and Nené, explain why he had only 16 caps for Portugal National Team, 2 for Académica, 13 for Benfica and 1 for Belenenses, scoring a single goal. His debut was, at 27 March 1967, a 1-1 tie with Italy, in a friendly match, in Rome, and his last game, at 30 March 1977, resulted in a 1-0 win over Switzerland, in another friendly match, in Funchal.
