4 unusual facts about Jorge Cadete


Jorge Cadete

Following a complaint from McCann, SFA chief Jim Farry was relieved of his duties after being found guilty of deliberately holding back the player's registration.

He returned to Scotland to make a guest appearance on Tam Cowan's Scottish football show "Offside", where he spoke of his love for Celtic and how he regretted leaving; he also invited Celtic boss Martin O'Neill to give him a trial for his former club.

His debut came against Aberdeen at Celtic Park, as he came off the bench to score Celtic's fifth goal in a 5–0 victory, thus becoming an instant hit; along with Pierre van Hooijdonk and Paolo Di Canio, he was labelled as one of the "Three Amigos" by Celtic chairman Fergus McCann.

Born in Pemba, Portuguese Mozambique, Cadete began his footballing career with Associação Academica de Santarém at age 15, scoring an amazing 43 goals in just 18 games.
