Antônio Ferreira (10 August 1942 – 26 January 1990), usually known as Toninho Guerreiro, was a Brazilian footballer who played as a forward.
He played for Santos FC with Pelé as a forward in the 1960s, scoring 283 goals in 373 games (.758 goals per game) and scoring more goals than Pelé in 66 (60 goals) and 68 (75 goals). He is Santos FC's fourth-highest scorer of all time. He won Copa Libertadores and World Club Cup in 1963.
He also played for São Paulo FC in the 1970s where he won the Paulista Championship twice being their top scorer. In 1976, he played abroad in the National Soccer League with Montreal Castors.
Many say he should have gone to the 1970 FIFA World Cup and was on João Saldanha's list. In the end, Dadá Maravilha took his place and rumour has it that he made it because of the Brazilian President's wish. He played only once for Brazil, scoring a single goal.
