		It was founded as 'Santos Foot-Ball Club' on April 14, 1912, through the initiative of three sports enthusiasts from Santos: Raimundo Marques, Mário Ferraz de Campos and Argemiro de Souza Júnior.
		It was also the runner-up in the Brazilian championships of 1983 (won by Flamengo) and 1995 (won by Botafogo), both finals having extremely contested rulings by officials but since the late eighties the club was seen as decadent and many believed its glory days were over.
		The club would undergo a long process of reabilitation, including the renewal of its stadium (which had for years been the worst playing field in Brazil), the hiring of important players and, most important of all, a strong investment in infrastructure (training fields, medical and physiotherapical facilities) and formation of players.

		It is usually normal that when a club goes up for the first time it is more likely to go back into the lower league it came from.
		We appreciate this but I still reiterate that the clubs should take ownership of their facilities like stadiums and be responsible for marketing the games and thus collect the bulk of the money just as its done in other parts of the world were the game is being run as a viable business.
		Football as a whole should not be reliant on selling players although it is part of the overall business.

		I want to believe it's a boost to the club because he is a player of huge ability, a prodigious talent and probably as good a header of a ball in the world today, but you just live in fear of the first public whinge or the first Quayside fracas.
		Some have also called him a mercenary but he's only played for 3 clubs in the past 10 years with all 3 transfers coming at a time where a move was the best option for both him and his club.
		No doubting in the past he has been an extremely good player for club and country, his scoring record is pretty good and he is still only 28.....so now he's wearing a fl and white toon top we should all get fully behind him.
