José Travassos

José António Barreto Travassos (22 February 1926 – 12 February 2002) was a Portuguese footballer who played as a forward.

Travassos won 35 caps for the Portuguese national team over 11 years, scoring six times. His debut came on 5 January 1947 in a 2–2 friendly draw against Switzerland in the Portuguese capital and, 21 days later and in another home exhibition game, netted a brace to help defeat Spain 4–1.

Travassos was one of the first Portuguese footballers to achieve international level, playing for the FIFA team that defeated England 4–1 in 1955, in Belfast. For this achievement, he was dubbed “Zé da Europa” (Europe Joe).
