Alfredo José Henriques Nascimento (born 5 May 1937), known as Nascimento, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

Club career

Born in Montijo, Portugal, Nascimento arrived at 22 to C.F. Os Belenenses, being back-up to José Pereira, but playing most games in 1963–64.[1]

He joined S.L. Benfica in the following year, with Costa Pereira having physical problems, he replaced him in a winning league campaign in 1966–67.[2] However, the rapid ascension of Zé Gato, stalled his career at Benfica, so he moved to União de Tomar in 1970 and retired four years later, age 37.
