Aldo Silva do Espírito Santo (born 7 September 1957), simply known as Aldo, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a right back.

Career

Born in the state of Amapá, Aldo began his career at EC Macapá, where he was regional champion of the Amazon in 1975. He later played for Paysandu, being state champion twice, and in 1982 he arrived at Fluminense. He entered the club's history with an unusual episode: he captured a black vulture, a bird symbol of CR Flamengo, which had been thrown onto the field by club fans during the final of the 1983 Campeonato Carioca.[1] He earned the nickname "vulture hunter", and was three-time state champion and Brazilian champion with Fluminense, becoming the club's idol. He would be called up for the 1986 FIFA World Cup, but a serious tibia injury in 1985 made his rehabilitation for the competition impossible.[2][3][4]

Personal life

Aldo is brother of the also footballer Bira, 1979 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A winners with SC Internacional.[4] In 2020, his residence was robbed and his medals were stolen, but were later found.[5]
