Club career
Born in Olhão, Algarve, Luciano started out at local club S.C. Olhanense at age 19. His composure and assuredness in possession earned him the nickname Germano II, in honour of S.L. Benfica player Germano.[1] He moved to the latter side in 1963, and coach Lajos Czeizler displayed him in the right-back position until he injured his knee, needing an operation.
Luciano was again bothered by physical problems upon his return, now in the ankle, only returning to full fitness in the 1966–67 season.[2]
Death
On 5 December 1966, Benfica's new hydro massage bath short-circuited with seven players inside, Luciano being the only one immersed. Eusébio, Jaime Graça and Santana escaped with burns, whilst José Carmo Pais, Domiciano Cavém and Amândio Malta da Silva were knocked unconscious until Graça managed to climb out the pool and cut off the power supply; Luciano died immediately at the age of 26, and the team played the rest of the campaign in black, winning the league.[1][3]
