Benfica 1994-95 player shirt by Olympic believed to have been match worn by Veloso in the Champions League Group C match against Anderlecht played at Estádio da Luz, Lisbon on the 28th September 1994.
The side had drawn 0-0 with Hajduk Split in their opening game and picked up their first win of the campaign here on home soil.
Argentina star Claudio Caniggia was the hero scoring twice with Tavares making it three in the second half before a late own goal gave the Belgian's a consolation. The veteran club captain Veloso joined the action as a 77th substitute for Abel Xavier. The Águias went on to win the group and reach the Quarter Finals of the competition this year. This would be Veloso's final season before a well earned retirement after 15 years with the club. The rugged defender won 40 caps for Portugal and reached two European Cup Final's while lifting seven Primeira Liga titles in a stellar career.
