Vicente Naval Filho (10 May 1928 – 2 March 1995), better known by the nickname Gatão, was a Brazilian professional footballer who played as a forward.
A standout in amateur football in Piracicaba, Vicente received the nickname Gatão due to his father's warehouse, which was close to the old stadium on Rua Moraes Barros. He played most of his career for XV, where he participated in the conquests of the second division in 1947 and 1948, in addition to Corinthians, being part of the state champion squad and the Rio-São Paulo Tournament in the early 50s.[1] Having problems maintaining his physical shape, he ended his career after a quick spell at Ponte Preta.[2][3]
Vicente is father of the also footballer José Fernando Naval, better known as Gatãozinho.
