Hugo Cunha
Football career
Born in Barreiro, Setúbal District, Cunha began his career at local F.C. Barreirense, as a youth and an early senior. He made his professional debuts with modest S.C. Campomaiorense in the Primeira Liga, moving to Vitória de Guimarães after one sole season.
After four years in Minho being regularly used by the first team, although rarely as a starter, Cunha moved to fellow top division club U.D. Leiria for 2004–05. In the following off-season, he died suddenly during a football match played with friends in Montemor-o-Novo, aged only 28.
