Football career
After unsuccessfully graduating at FC Porto's youth system, Best joined neighbouring S.C. Salgueiros in 1988 at nearly 20, going on to spend the following seven seasons with the Paranhos side, five of those in the Primeira Liga: his best output in the competition consisted of 12 games, in 1990–91 (eight goals conceded).
In the 1996 summer, after one unassuming top division campaign with Leça FC, Best signed for F.C. Tirsense in the second level, going on to experience three consecutive relegations with the same team. He retired from football in 2003 at nearly 35, after one-year spells with two amateur clubs.
