Revealed by Vasco da Gama's youth sectors, Wilsinho played most of his career at the club, where he was state champion in 1977 and vice-Brazilian in 1979. He also played for Flamengo[1] and Fluminense, where he was champion of the 1984 Campeonato Brasileiro Série A.[2] He ended his career at Recreativo Huelva in Spain in 1989.[3] He received the nickname "Xodó da Vovó", in reference to the Brazilian title of the Precious Pupp cartoon, since, like the dog in the work, he always saved Vasco da Gama.[4]
