Career

With the Brazilian national team he collected 57 caps and 10 goals.[2] This recognition, in an era dominated by Pelé, Tostao, Rivelino and Jairzinho, is impressive. In fact, he featured heavily in the national team throughout very successful years.

Caju began his career with Botafogo de Futebol e Regatas, where his team won the Campeonato Carioca (championship of the state of Rio de Janeiro) several times and many more trophies in the end became one of Botafogo de Futebol e Regatass all time greatest and most honoured players.

Caju featured in the Brazilian Bola de Ouro team of the season in Brazil in the seasons 1970, 1972, 1976, 1977.

In the 1990s,[3] Paulo César Lima was the subject of a documentary film by João Moreira Salles[4] The documentary depicts his flamboyance on and off the field during his days as a football player, and the difficult adjustments he had to make afterwards, outside of the limelight, and surviving on his income as a landlord.[3][5][6]
