Jorge Augusto Ferreira de Aragão (born 23 April 1954), better known as Beijoca, is a Brazilian former professional footballer who played as a forward.
Career
Beijoca is considered one of the greatest players in the history of EC Bahia, with 106 goals scored and state champion on six occasions. At the age of 16, he debuted in the professional team and formed an attacking partnership with José Sanfilippo, and scored his first goal for Bahia in a last-minute draw against SC Corinthians in the 1970 Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa.[1][2]
He played for a large number of clubs, most notably Flamengo, where he played in 1979 and played 9 games, scoring 1 goal.[3][4]
In 1983, he played in the state championship for EC Vitória, claiming he was fulfilling the dream of his mother, a fan of the club.[5]
Style of play
Beijoca attracted attention on the field due to his physical form, always overweight and moving little on the field. He faced a major problem with alcoholism during his career, which was why he did not sign long contracts, in addition to frequently getting involved in fights. The most notable incident was against SE Palmeiras, where he assaulted players Mococa and Baroninho.[6] Still, he had an outstanding ability to score goals.[1][2][5]
Personal life
The origin of the nickname was due to his childhood resemblance to the Estrela's doll called "Beijoca".[5]
