Creedence Clearwater Couto (born March 6, 1979), known as Creedence and sometimes as Paulista, is a Brazilian former association footballer who played as a striker.
A journeyman, he has spent the majority of his career in the lower reaches of Brazilian football apart from one loan spell at Lierse of Belgium's Pro League in 2005. He also had an unsuccessful trial at Stabæk of Norway in 2006.[1]
Name
He is perhaps best known for his unusual name, which has featured in many articles on extravagant sporting birth names.[2] His parents were big fans of the American rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival and decided to adopt this name for their son.[3][4]
