Miguel Alberto Fernandes Marques (born 7 June 1963), known simply as Miguel, is a Portuguese retired professional footballer who played as a central defender.

Club career

[edit]

Miguel was born in Guimarães. From 1984 to 1997, he spent 13 seasons in the Primeira Liga, with Vitória de Guimarães, Sporting CP and Gil Vicente FC, totalling 327 matches and 12 goals and being relegated in the last year while at the service of the latter club.[2][3]

Miguel retired in June 2006 at the age of 43, after not being able to help G.D. União Torcatense avoid relegation from the third division.[4]

International career

[edit]

Miguel earned five caps for Portugal in the late 80s, all coming after the infamous Saltillo Affair at the 1986 FIFA World Cup, which caused most of the squad to defect from international play.[5][6] He made his debut on 23 September 1987, in a 1–0 away win against Sweden for the UEFA Euro 1988 qualifiers.[7][8]
