Football Career
After finishing his footballing formation at Sporting Clube de Portugal, Bilro made his professional debuts with Seixal Futebol Clube, where he had begun as an infant. He went to represent lowly outfits Atlético Clube de Portugal and Sporting Clube Olhanense, returning to Sporting for 1992–93 and spending an entire season without any official appearances, being released afterwards.
After leaving Sporting, Bilro moved to União de Leiria, where he would amass nearly 400 overall official appearances, helping it achieve top division promotion in his first year and being coached in 2001–02 by young manager José Mourinho, as the side from the river Lis finished seventh.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or career:
“Idon’t enjoy getting knocked about on a football field for other people’s amusement. I enjoy it if I’m being paid a lot for it.”
—David Storey (b. 1933)
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
