Gomes scored 3 goals more than in 1983, when he received his first Golden Shoe. Prolific scorer, he already had more than 500 goals and was 6 times top scorer of Portugal. He also had astonishing record with the national team of his country: 36 goals in 30 games. The numbers speak of themselves, but Gomes pointed out that having Cubillas as teammate was essential for his development – the Peruvian star taught him professionalism.
