Francisco António Galinho Caló (5 September 1946 – 12 July 2021) was a Portuguese professional footballer who played as a central defender.
Born in Montemor-o-Novo, Évora District, Caló joined Sporting CP in 1965 at the age of 18. He was irregularly used in his seven-year spell with the Lisbon club, also being loaned to fellow Primeira Liga team U.F.C.I. Tomar in the 1968–69 season.
Caló contributed a total of 30 games and one goal to two national championship conquests, in 1966 and 1970.[1] [2] He also won the 1971 Taça de Portugal against S.L. Benfica, losing two finals against the same adversary, and retired professionally at only 29 after one-year stints with two other sides in the country's capital, Atlético Clube de Portugal and G.D. Estoril Praia.[3]
Calón earned one cap for Portugal, appearing in a 2–1 loss against Scotland in Glasgow for the UEFA Euro 1972 qualifiers, on 13 October 1971.[4]
Caló died on 12 July 2021 at the age of 74, from unknown causes.[5]
