Antônio de Paula Filho (4 July 1912 – 30 March 1993), better known as Dondon, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a defender.
Career
A defender with great technical ability, Dondon is considered the greatest player of the now extinct Andarahy AC, from the North Zone of Rio de Janeiro. He defended the club from the beginning of the 1930s until 1937, with the best result being runner-up in 1934, entering Brazilian popular culture thanks to the samba by composer Nei Lopes, entitled "Tempos de Dondon" (English: "Ages of Dondon"). [1] [2] In 2016, a proposed law in Rio de Janeiro created the space "Largo do Dondon", in the Andaraí neighborhood. [3]
