The Old Crem 3,583 Posted February 17 9 hours ago, msc said: Goal scorer in the famous Battle of Santiago, QO a cert imo. "Let's hope they never face again." No no David, let's hope they draw each other more often. The ref was so upset by Toro and both teams antics that he later invented the red card. True story! So far I can’t even find any English language obits. He doesn’t strike me a strong contender for an Q/O obit, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Octopus of Odstock 2,194 Posted March 27 On 23/12/2021 at 12:23, The Immortal said: Just seen it your list, a very interesting list you got there and I did some scouting to find more information some on these players and found some stuff that needs to be updated. Braulio Musso (Chile 1962) is mentioned on your list having a birthdate May 24, 1937 but his wikipedia page shows a birthdate of March 8, 1930 and it claims he played from Universidad de Chile from 1951 to 1968 but not just that, some more searching and I find that Braulio Musso has a Facebook Page which he is definitely involved in, and you will find all his posts are about his football days and though he has only shown photos dating back to 1955, he mentions in one post that he played for Universidad de Chile at the age of 21 and that makes the 1930 birth year make more sense because even if he debuted for his club in 1955 he would still be 17/18 with a 1937 birth year. Musso is still alive, but it appears only just. From instagram 2 weeks ago: The great Braulio Musso will be hospitalized in the next few hours due to his poor health condition. The remarkable player from the University of Chile and the Chilean National Team, who is 94 years old today, is not in good health. I send from here my respects and affection for whoever was a super class on and off the court. Much strength to him and his family, in addition to those who were part of the iconic Ballet Azul and the Chilean National Team of 62'. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
