Pedro Ricardo Quintela Henriques (born 16 October 1974) is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a left back.

Contents

He amassed Primeira Liga totals of 222 games and six goals over the course of 12 seasons, representing mainly Benfica and Vitória de Setúbal.

Club career

Born in Sintra, Lisbon, Henriques joined S.L. Benfica at nearly 16, from neighbouring C.F. Os Belenenses. He played six minutes in his only appearance in the 1993–94 season, a 3–0 away win against Gil Vicente FC, as his team won the national championship.

After a six-month loan at Vitória F.C. and the 1996 arrival of Manuel José as coach, Henriques became a regular in the starting lineups, as Dimas had just been sold to Juventus FC. In the 1997 summer he signed for FC Porto but, due to a knee injury he had contracted still at Benfica, he never appeared official for the club, and returned to Setúbal for the later part of the campaign.

In the following seven seasons, always in the top division, Henriques represented Vitória de Setúbal, Belenenses, C.D. Santa Clara and Académica de Coimbra, retiring at almost 31 years of age after additional physical problems at his last team.
