Club career
Born in Lisbon, Carvalho began his career at local club Chelas. In 1942, he signed with Benfica, where he played 12 seasons, excepting a period in 1947, when he played for Brazilian side Botafogo. He was one of the victims, so to speak, of Otto Glória's professionalism; he left Benfica in 1954 because he did not want to quit his job, and finished his career in another local club, Oriental.
With Benfica, he won three league titles, six Portuguese cups and one Latin Cup. In total, he played 310 matches and scored 210 goals for Benfica. Carvalho holds the record of best scorer in Portuguese cup finals, with 15 goals.
