César Augusto da Silva Lemos, usually called César Maluco or just César, (born 17 May 1945, Niterói) is a former Brazilian footballer who played as a forward. He was included in the 1974 FIFA World Cup squad of the Brazil national team. He played for Palmeiras.[1]
Born in Niteroi, César began playing youth football with local sides Canto do Rio and Flamengo. Palmeiras manager, Aymoré Moreira took César to the club on loan in 1967. That year, he played for Palmeiras in the Torneio Roberto Gomes Pedrosa, scoring 15 goals as the club won the title.[2]
César Maluco's brothers, Caio Cambalhota and Luisinho Lemos, were also professional footballers. However, César was the only one of the brothers to play for the Brazil national team.
