Jacinto do Carmo Marques (1 November 1921 – 7 October 2000) was a Portuguese footballer who played as defender. He represented Benfica during 14 seasons, making over 250 appearances for them and winning nine major titles, including the Latin Cup.
Career[edit]
Born in Cova da Piedade, Almada, Marques arrived at Benfica in 1943 at age 21, making his debut on the 28 November against Vitória de Setúbal.[1] In his first two seasons, he played less than a handful of games in the Primeira Divisão,[2][3] but starting in 1945, he entered the first team, alongside Francisco Ferreira and Francisco Moreira.[4] He held a place in the starting eleven until 1951, making upwards of 130 appearances, and winning the league and the Latin Cup in 1950.[5][6]
The next three years, Marques played only sparingly and missed 1953–54 season due to injury.[7] He returned in 1954, to play beside Ângelo Martins in Benfica's defence, helping them win two more league titles in 1954–55 and 1956–57,[8] retiring in the latter season, after 251 appearances in all competitions.[1] Marques died on 7 October 2000, at the age of 78.[9][10]
