Olé Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Tristan Plummer. Click on the photo for more. Wears number 99 and scored as a sub in a league cup win. Portimonense are in the Algarve (Portimao) and play in the second tier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 They seem to be bottom of their league. Mind you, with a striker called Dodo, that may not be surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Whatever did come of Lorenco Da Silva? As I recall, he came on loan to us from a Portuguese team, very highly rated as a youngster. If i remember correctly he scored once away at Bury?? in a 1-0 win, or was that just his debut - then i don't really recall ever hearing of him since! Any ideas?!

Tony Montana Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Played for England U18, U17 and U16's. Obviously didnt live up to what was expected of him at City. If i remember rightly he was always touted as one of the best up and coming players our club had seen in ages and at one point Arsenal were interested in him!

Olé Posted October 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2011 Whatever did come of Lorenco Da Silva?

If i remember correctly he scored once away at Bury?? in a 1-0 win, or was that just his debut - then i don't really recall ever hearing of him since! Any ideas?! He was in Sporting's B team at the time (as a Benfiquista never quite sure how they find players even worse than their first team!) and went on loan to Oldham the season after ours. He then got into the Sporting first team and played in the UEFA cup and established himself in the Portuguese Under 21 side. It is to my eternal satisfaction that a player who didn't make it at Oldham was good enough for Sporting in European competiion. But they got wise an he was loaned our to middling top tier Portuguese clubs like Belenenses (in Lisbon) and Leiria, before losing his way and moving to the Greek super league where he scored fairly well for a couple of top flight clubs, notably Panionios. By coincidence another Portuguese former City player Dani Rodrigues (he of awful injury) went to Greece some years earlier but was playing in Cyprus by the time Lourenco arrived. According to Wikipedia, Lourenco was last seen at Alzira, a Spanish fourth division local league side near Valencia, though I have my doubts as he isn't mentioned on their site, and it seems an almighty step down.
