Delfim José Fernandes Rola Teixeira (born 5 February 1977), known simply as Delfim, is a Portuguese retired footballer who played as a defensive midfielder.
Football career
Delfim was born in Amarante. After emerging as a 20-year-old in the Primeira Liga with Boavista F.C. he signed with Sporting Clube de Portugal, being an essential midfield element alongside Aldo Duscher in the Lions' 1999–2000 league conquest, after an 18-year drought.
In 2001, Delfim moved to Olympique de Marseille in France, but also began an excruciating battle with injuries,[1][2] appearing very rarely with the Ligue 1 side and almost retiring from football. In January 2002 he was reunited with former Sporting teammate Dimas and, after an unassuming stint with BSC Young Boys, eventually returned to Portugal.
Delfim was able to revive his career in the 2007–08 season, being very important as Associação Naval 1º de Maio retained its top division status. For the following campaign, he joined top level newcomer C.D. Trofense,[3] retiring at the age of 32 after his team suffered relegation.
