The best player for me ever from Benfica, Jose Aguas's statue should be in front of the Museum, between Feher and Bela Guttman. Head of Gold. 374 goals. 2 European Cups, 5 Championships 7 Tacas de Portugal, 5 times best scorer in the Championship. 4 times best scorer in the Cup, Best. Scorer in Europe 60/61. The ghost is not only of Guttman but also of Jose Aguas. Eusebio was fantastic, this was huge, the great Lord the great Captain. RIP
