Nicknamed ''Levezinho'' ("Slender one") due to his light frame (63&nbsp;kg),<ref name="LIEDSON">[https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/01a9-0ea7bae09a6d-cff3c8fc9232-1000--liedson-cameras-action/ Liedson, cameras, action!]; UEFA, 17 May 2005</ref> he spent the bulk of his professional career in Portugal representing [[Sporting CP]], scoring nearly 120 goals in more than 200 competitive matches, winning four major titles with the club and helping it to four [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]] participations.

Born in Brazil, Liédson became a Portuguese citizen in 2009 and appeared with the [[Portugal national football team|national team]] at the [[2010 FIFA World Cup|2010 World Cup]], already in his 30s.

==Club career==
===Early years===
Born in [[Cairu]], [[Bahia]], Liédson started his professional career at [[Coritiba Foot Ball Club]], aged 22. Before that he played amateur football on weekends, working at a supermarket during the week.<ref name="LIEDSON"/>

Liédson continued his career at [[Clube de Regatas do Flamengo]] and [[Sport Club Corinthians Paulista]], traditional big clubs at [[Rio de Janeiro]] and [[São Paulo]] respectively, with relative individual success.

===Sporting===
Liédson was signed by [[Sporting CP]] for [[Euro|€]]2 million on 31 August 2003, giving manager [[Fernando Santos (football coach)|Fernando Santos]] a new option following injuries and sales.<ref>[https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/025a-0eaada41ad84-0165ce5c28cc-1000--sporting-snare-liedson/ Sporting snare Liedson]; UEFA, 31 August 2003</ref> On his debut, the "S" in his name was printed in reverse, which he took as a good omen and maintained it like that for the rest of his career.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.dn.pt/desporto/seleccao/interior.aspx?content_id=1353444|title=Liedson com nome bem escrito na camisola|trans-title=Liedson with name spelt correctly on his shirt|newspaper=[[Diário de Notícias]]|language=pt|date=5 September 2009|access-date=25 June 2015|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626132242/http://www.dn.pt/desporto/seleccao/interior.aspx?content_id=1353444|archive-date=26 June 2015}}</ref>

Liédson was crowned top scorer in the [[Primeira Liga]] in [[2004–05 Primeira Liga|his second season]], scoring 25 goals<ref name="LIEDSON"/> while also netting nine in 14 games as his team reached [[2005 UEFA Cup Final|the final]] of the [[UEFA Europa League|UEFA Cup]] – this included a [[hat-trick]] in a 4–0 win at [[FC Dinamo Tbilisi]] in [[2004–05 UEFA Cup group stage|the group stage]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaleague/news/025a-0eaa829a60e9-6336a3e77e24-1000--liedson-leads-sporting-rout/|title=Liedson leads Sporting rout|publisher=UEFA|last=Ravdin|first=Eugene|date=25 November 2004|access-date=5 June 2015}}</ref> [[2005–06 Primeira Liga|The following year]] he finished second in the scoring race, scoring 15 times from 31 appearances (28 of which he played the full 90 minutes) with an impressive mark of 2,899 minutes played; he was top scorer again in [[2006–07 Primeira Liga|2006–07]], but the ''Lions'' only conquered one [[Taça de Portugal|domestic cup]] during that timeframe.

Considered by many as one of the greatest strikers in Sporting history since the early performances of [[Fernando Peyroteo]], [[Héctor Yazalde]], [[Manuel Fernandes (footballer, born 1951)|Manuel Fernandes]], [[Rui Jordão]], [[Fernando Gomes (Portuguese footballer)|Fernando Gomes]], [[Alberto Acosta]] and [[Mário Jardel]], Liédson was also regarded as the club's top trademark player since the departures of [[Luís Figo]], [[Cristiano Ronaldo]], [[Nani (footballer)|Nani]] and [[Ricardo Quaresma]]. He also ranked team top scorer in the [[UEFA Champions League]], after scoring the lonely goal in the [[2008–09 UEFA Champions League|2008–09 group stage]] contest against [[FC Shakhtar Donetsk]] on 22 October 2008.<ref>[https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/01d2-0e70286926f1-28fbcb053e1d-1000--liedson-lauds-sporting-spirit/ Liedson lauds Sporting spirit]; UEFA, 23 October 2008</ref> In the last group stage match, he also found the net&nbsp;– in a 2–5 home loss to [[FC Barcelona]]&nbsp;– for the 19th time in [[UEFA|European competition]], another club best;<ref>[https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/01db-0e72656f14fa-82119b73dbcc-1000--liedson-happy-to-settle-at-sporting/ Liedson happy to settle at Sporting]; UEFA, 10 July 2009</ref> on 1 November he appeared in his 150th league match with the green-and-white striped jersey, 213 overall.

Nacional]] 3–2 at home.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rtp.pt/noticias/sporting/liedson-bisa-no-regresso_d311216|title=Liedson bisa no regresso|trans-title=Liedson grabs brace in return|publisher=[[Rádio e Televisão de Portugal]]|language=pt|date=17 January 2010|access-date=19 July 2017}}</ref>  On 7 March, all of the game's goals were his as his team beat [[2009–10 Primeira Liga|last-placed]] [[C.F.

==International career==
Liédson expressed interest in playing for the [[Portugal national football team|Portugal national team]] despite being Brazilian-born. He stated: "If one day I was called up to play, I wouldn’t hesitate for a second, as I feel right at home in Portugal." After the retirement of striker [[Pauleta]], Liédson was one of the main candidates in line for succession, especially after countrymen [[Deco]] and [[Pepe (footballer, born 1983)|Pepe]]'s previous switches. Liédson's [[naturalisation]] process created some controversy, as the Portuguese Footballers' Union in August 2009 publicly objected the [[Portuguese Football Federation]]'s (FPF) plans of expediting his citizenship.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://smashingenglish.blogspot.com/2009/08/football-union-contest-liedsons.html|title=Football Union contest Liedson's naturalisation|publisher=Smashing English|last=Santos Lourenço|first=Eduardo|date=28 August 2009|access-date=4 October 2009}}</ref>

After having been [[Penalty card#Yellow card|booked]], Liédson scored the equaliser in the 85th minute, heading the ball in from a [[Corner kick|corner]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090907103609/http://www.uefa.com/competitions/worldcup/fixturesresults/round=15218/match=302425/report=rp.html Liedson pulls Portugal from brink]; UEFA, 5 September 2009</ref>
