Luis Suárez (Peruvian footballer)
Peruvian soccer player and politician (1926-2014)
Luis Oswaldo Suárez Cáceres (17 May 1926 – 7 August 2014) was a Peruvian professional footballer who played as goalkeeper.
Club career
Nicknamed El Flaco (the skinny), Luis Suárez Cáceres joined Lloque Yupanqui, a neighborhood team in the Jesús María district of Lima, at a very young age in 1941. Spotted by Luis Guzmán, an iconic player for Deportivo Municipal in 1945, he signed with the latter club. Initially Juan Chao Busanich's backup, he took advantage of the latter's departure for Argentina to become the starting goalkeeper. He finished as runner-up in the Peruvian league three times consecutively from 1945 to 1947. He maintained his starting position to such an extent that Busanich, upon returning from Argentina, was forced to leave for Universitario de Deportes.
With Deportivo Municipal, he made a name for himself and faced some of the most famous Peruvian strikers of the 1940s and 1950s, including Teodoro Fernández and Valeriano López. In 1950, he won his first Peruvian championship under Juan Valdivieso, and the following year he finished as runner-up.
In 1952, he signed with Mariscal Sucre, the club with which he won his second championship in 1953 under Carlos Iturrizaga. He remained with the club until 1957, a season in which he served as both player-manager and coach.
