Career[edit]
Formed in the youth categories of Santa Cruz where did he get the nickname "Mário Tilico", in the second half of 1962, Mário Tilico left Arruda and signed a commitment to Portuguesa de Desportos (SP), a modest first stint, visibly hampered by the lack of adaptation to the climate of the “Land of Drizzle”.[1] He was brought to Vasco in 1963, where he stood out and was champion of the Taça Guanabara in 1965. He repeated the feat the following year at Fluminense, and would still play for Bangu, America and Portuguesa de Desportos.[2][3]
Mário Tilico was a Vasco striker from 1963 until early 1966, playing in 128 games and scoring 50 goals. He is Vasco da Gama's 5th pernambucano top scorer in with 50 goals scored for the club (tied with Ramón da Silva Ramos) and only behind Ademir Menezes (301 goals), Vavá (150 goals), Juninho (76 goals) and Almir Pernambuquinho (59 goals).[4]
International career[edit]
Tilico played only once for the Brazil national team, 19 September 1967, in a friendly match against Chile.[5]
