Santos Futebol Clube Santos Futebol Clube, usually known simply as Santos, is a Brazilian football team from Santos, São Paulo state, Brazil. The club has been nicknamed Peixe (literally, "Fish") for decades, but the usual mascot is a whale (which is not a fish, but a marine Mammal). The nickname evokes that Santos, Brazil, the city where it is located, is a seaport, when all other big clubs from São Paulo are from inland. A fan of the team is known as a Santista. 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. The club won its first state tournament in 1935, and again 20 years later, in 1955. They play in an all-white strip, with a second choice uniform of black and white vertical stripes and black shorts. However, according to the club's statute, the team's first choice uniform is a striped shirt with white shorts and white socks. Pelé (chosen as "Athlete of the Century" by the IOC in 1999) started his career with the team in 1956, at the age of 15, and remained with Santos for 17 years. With Pelé, Santos won the Intercontinental Cup in 1962 and 1963. On 20 January 1998 Santos became the first and only team in football history to pass the 10,000-goal mark. More recently, on October 26, 2005 Geílson scored the team's 11,000th goal, the first scored in the team's away match against Vasco da Gama at the São Januário stadium. Santos went on to win the match 3-1.
