INFO: Gildo Fernandes was a Center forward who played most of his career in Ceará SC. Considered the best Cearense player alongside Mozarzinho and one of the best in Northeastern Brazilian football, he is the top scorer in the region, scoring 262 goals, ahead of names like Hamilton with 224 (Moto Club), Carlito with 233 (Bahia), Bita with 223 (Náutico) and etc., thus being the greatest top scorer in Ceará SC. Mainly known for his spectacular headers, often accurate and decisive, he even scored a legendary midfield header against Fortaleza, their biggest rivals. After the goal kick taken by Goalkeeper Cícero Capacete with great force, Gildo put his head on the ball and gave an indefensible head "shot" from more than 30 meters away. Their headers have also decided several Cearense Championship finals. He began his career at Santa Cruz, staying between 1957 and 1959 and winning the regional championship last year. After that, he was traded with Ceará, for a low price due to a knee injury, but he soon showed service and Ceará bought him immediately. In Ceará, he made history on his first trip, winning the three-time title of Ceará in 1961-62-63 and playing between 1960 and 1966. He would be signed by Corinthians, but the club withdrew due to his frequent knee injuries, so he was negotiated with the América-SP, where he played between 1966 and 1969, returning to Ceará in the sequence and winning the North-Northeast Tournament in 1969 and the Ceará Championship in 1971. After that, the club released him and he ended his career for Calouros do Ar in 1973 In a game between Calouros do Ar and Ceará SC, Gildo was cheered by the Ceará fans whenever he touched the ball, even playing for the opposing team. He died in 2016 from a cardiorespiratory arrest.

Decreasing Attack and Finishing. While his Header can be quite controversial, I'm going to keep the red value as the sources that exist about him report the tons of header goals he scored (in various championship decisions) in addition to the famous 30m goal. It also seems to make sense for me to keep a reasonably high value for Jump due to his short stature.
