Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Carlos José Castilho (November 27, 1927 – February 2, 1987) was a Brazilian football goalkeeper. He was born in Rio de Janeiro and played for Fluminense from 1947 to 1964 and for Brazil.[1] He was a member of the Brazil squad in four World Cups: 1950, 1954, 1958 and 1962. Castilho has the all-time record of matches played in Fluminense FC history, with 699 appearances.[1]

He was noted as a goalkeeper for making seemingly impossible saves. Due to his good luck, his opponents' supporters called him "Leiteria" (lucky man) and Fluminense supporters called him "Saint Castilho".[2]

He was daltonic and he believed he was favored because he saw yellow balls as if they were red, though he had trouble at night with white balls.[1]

During his career he appeared in 699 games for Fluminense, a club record.[3] With Fluminense, he won 420 games, conceded 777 goals, and kept 255 clean-sheets; all individual records in Fluminense history.[4]

After his retirement from playing sport, he coached many teams from Brazil.

He died by suicide on February 2, 1987.[5]
