Career[edit]
Small in stature, especially compared to his other siblings, Mamede played for Bangu from 1928 to 1936, and then in 1943, making 228 appearances and scoring 52 goals, acting as left midfielder.[1][2] He also played for Flamengo from 1936 to 1942, as a defensive midfielder, being state champion on two occasions.[3]
For the Brazil national team, Médio played only once, on 15 January 1939 in a match against Argentina.[4]
Personal life and death[edit]
Mamede is brother of the footballers Domingos, Ladislau and Luiz Antônio. He received the nickname "Medium" because he was the sixth child of 11 siblings.
Mamede da Guia committed suicide on 8 January 1948, by shooting himself in the chest with a revolver twice. He suffered from depression after the end of his marriage.[5]
