Football Career
Having grown through the ranks of Minho's Vitória de Guimarães, Tiago moved to Spain in 2000–01, joining second division outfit UD Salamanca, where he would remain two 1/2 seasons (with a loan to lowly Real Ávila CF in between), without any impact.
Tiago returned to Portugal in January 2003 where, after a spell with lowly Sport Clube Dragões Sandinenses, he signed with Gil Vicente F.C. for 2004–05, making his top level debut on 28 August 2004 in a 2–3 loss at Sporting Clube de Portugal, and finishing his debut season with 25 league appearances.
In July 2007, Tiago moved to Vitória's neighbours Sporting Clube de Braga where, after only week into pre-season, he seriously broke his leg, being ruled out for the season's duration. After two years without playing, he was forced to retire from the game, at only 28.

Famous quotes containing the words football and/or career:
“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“John Brown’s career for the last six weeks of his life was meteor-like, flashing through the darkness in which we live. I know of nothing so miraculous in our history.”
