Encyclopedia
Paulo Jorge dos Santos Futre (pron. , born 28 February 1966 in Montijo) is a former Portuguese professional footballer.
Football career
Futre first appeared professionally in 1983-84, as a 17-year old left winger in Sporting Clube de Portugal. When he requested a pay rise from president Joăo Rocha, he was turned down and left for FC Porto after just one season.
In the following years, Futre collected two Portuguese Championships, also playing in the 1987 European Champions Cup final, won by Porto.
After that continental win, Futre was traded to Atlético Madrid. Once there he quickly rose to fan favourite status. However, his physical weakness left him with several knee injuries which tormented his career in the 1990s.
In January 1993 he moved to Porto and Sporting rivals Sport Lisboa e Benfica, winning a Portuguese cup in his short stay, as his injury woes persisted. After Benfica he signed one-season contracts with Olympique de Marseille, A.C. Reggiana 1919, A.C. Milan and West Ham United F.C.. Finally, he returned to Atlético Madrid (10 games in 1997-98), effectively ending his career with J. League side Yokohama Flugels.
Futre remained football director at Atlético Madrid until 2003, subsequently becoming a real-estate developer in his hometown.
Futre was capped 41 times for Portugal (from 1983 to 1995), scoring six goals. He was a member of the Portuguese national team that competed in the Mexico'86 World Cup.
Personal
Futre's older son, Paulo, has a rock band, fr1day. Younger son Fábio plays for Atlético de Madrid youths and has been called up for Portugal's under-17 national side.
His nephew, Artur Futre (born 1983), played for F.C. Alverca, F.C. Maia and C.D. Aves, without much impact.
