*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Pedro Ricardo Quintela Henriques (born 16 October 1974) is a Portuguese former footballer who played as a left-back.
He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 222 matches and six goals over 12 seasons, representing mainly Benfica and Vitória de Setúbal.[1]
Born in Sintra, Lisbon, Henriques joined S.L. Benfica at nearly 16, from neighbouring C.F. Os Belenenses.[2] He played six minutes in his only appearance in the 1993–94 season, a 3–0 away win against Gil Vicente FC, as his team won the Primeira Liga championship.[3]
After a six-month loan at Vitória F.C. and the January 1997 arrival of Manuel José as coach, Henriques became a regular in the starting lineups, as Dimas had just been sold to Juventus FC.[4] In summer 1997 he signed for FC Porto but, due to a knee injury he had contracted still at Benfica, he never appeared official for the club, and returned to Setúbal for the later part of the campaign.[5]
In the following seven seasons, always in the top division, Henriques represented Vitória de Setúbal, Belenenses,[6] C.D. Santa Clara[7] and Académica de Coimbra,[8] retiring at almost 31 years of age after additional physical problems at his last team.[9][10]
Benfica
After retiring, Henriques went on to work several years as a pundit for Portuguese sport channel Sport TV.[11][12][5]
