Fary Faye (born 24 December 1974) is a Senegalese retired footballer who played as a striker.
He spent most of his professional career in Portugal (more than 15 years), most notably with Beira-Mar and Boavista. At one point he ranked in the country's Primeira Liga scoring list's Top 5, eventually amassing competition totals of 222 games and 68 goals over the course of ten seasons.
Club career
Born in Dakar, Fary began his career with ASC Diaraf in his native country, then started his Portuguese adventure in 1996, signing with lowly Grupo União Sport Montemor alongside compatriot and teammate Khadim Faye and remaining with the third division club for two seasons, before moving to S.C. Beira-Mar.
From 1998 to 2003 Fary was an everpresent fixture in the top scorer's list in Portugal, hitting an average of one goal every three games in the Primeira Liga. In the 2002–03 campaign he netted 18 goals for the Aveiro team, which finished 13th.[1][2][3][4]
In the 2003 summer Fary signed for Boavista FC, but his role gradually diminished compared to his previous spell. In 2006–07 he went scoreless in 23 matches, although he only played three as a starter.
In July 2008, upon Boavista's relegation to the second level, Fary returned to his first Portuguese professional club Beira-Mar, also in that category.[5] After appearing rarely as the team returned to the top flight in 2010 after a three-year absence – four games, no goals – the 35-year-old joined another side in the nation, C.D. Aves.[6]
International career
Fary was part of the Senegalese 2000 Africa Cup of Nations team which reached the quarter-finals, losing to Nigeria.
