Alexandre Escobar Ferreira (born 2 January 1972 – 18 July 1992), simply known as Alexandre, was a football player, who played as a goalkeeper for São Paulo FC.[1] [2]
Playing 8 league matches for São Paulo before his death, Alexandre was touted as Zetti's chosen successor, a honour that went to Rogério Ceni after Zetti himself retired. His most memorable match was against Nacional in the 1992 Copa Libertadores.
Around 6:30 am on July 18, 1992, at km 13.5 on the Castelo Branco Highway, Alexandre lost control of his car and crashed into a protective wall. He was taken to the University of São Paulo Hospital, but did not recover. His funeral was held at the CT da Barra Funda.[3]
