Partner to Jorge Costa in the centre of defence for Portugal, Fernando Couto is strong in the air and reads the game well.
He began at regional league club Lourasa and joined FC Porto at aged seventeen in 1987.
He was sent on loan to Famalicao and Academica before establishing himself as a regular in the FC Porto side.
He moved abroad to play for Parma, Barcelona and Lazio.
His clubs have regularly achieved success and he won Cup Winners' Cup winners' medals with Barcelona (1997) and Lazio (1999) and a UEFA Cup winners' medal with Parma (1995).
He won his first cap against the USA in December 1990 and now holds the record as his nations most capped player. He like several others in Italy tested positive for nandrolone and despite protesting his innocence was banned from football for four months (the sentence was reduced from ten months).
