Mpache Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Not due to Covid19 but just regular pneumonia. He had alzheimers as well. One of Peru's best ever players and was key in helping us reach the 1970 World Cup while knocking out Argentina in La Bombonera. Another victim of 2020 as a year.

Mpache Posted May 10, 2020 Author Share Posted May 10, 2020 Someone dug up this gem. Chumpitaz, Sotil, Challe and Leon all together while signing an autograph for a kid. Legendary photo. 3 of Peru's best players ever and the other (Challe) being very good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache Posted May 11, 2020 Author Share Posted May 11, 2020 Infantino sent a memorial note regarding his death. Good to see recognition from Infantino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 How do they know it was regular pneumonia and not pneumonia brought on by COVID-19? Did they test him after he'd passed? Genuinely curious, because right now I'd be pretty skeptical of any "pneumonia" cause of death considering what we know about what this virus does. Either way, it's never nice when a national hero passes. Sounds like he's most definitely a Peruvian national hero. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ Posted May 12, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted May 12, 2020 At 76 you could say he'd probably have seen so much happen in his country both at a sporting and a cultural level and he lived a good life. RIP to the Peruvian Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see what you're saying but he's been having health problems for some time now. I guess we'll find out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
