Santos F.C. (South Africa) Players
Santos Futebol Clube (), commonly known simply as Santos or Santos FC and nicknamed the ''Peixe'' (; "fish"), is a Brazilian sports club based in Vila Belmiro, a ''bairro'' in the city of Santos. It is also the team with the most goals in football history. It plays in the ''Paulistão'', the State of São Paulo's premier state league, as well as the ''Brasileirão'', the top tier of the Brazilian football league system. The club was founded in 1912 by the initiative of three sports enthusiasts from Santos by Raimundo Marques, Mário Ferraz de Campos, and Argemiro de Souza Júnior as a response to the lack of representation the city had in football. Since then, Santos has become one of Brazil's most successful clubs, becoming a symbol of '' Jogo Bonito'' (English: the Beautiful Game) in football culture, hence the motto ''"Técnica e Disciplina"'' (technique and discipline). This was largely thanks to the ''Peixe's'' golden generation of the 1960s, with players like Gil ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He played as a central defender for São Paulo FC, Santos FC and the Brazil national team.

This is an incomplete list of football clubs which have won four or more trophies in a single season. In a football season, clubs typically compete in a number of domestic competitions, such as a league and one or more cup competitions, as well as sometimes in continental competitions. Winning multiple competitions is seen as a particularly significant achievement. '' Doubles'' and '' trebles'' are usually long-remembered achievements, but do occur with some level of frequency, whereas winning four or more trophies in one season is much rarer. In the 2010s, the terms ''quadruple'', ''quintuple'' and ''sextuple'' have sometimes been used to refer to winning four, five and six trophies in a single season.
