Horacio CasarÃn
Horacio Casarín ( born May 25, 1918 in Mexico City; † 10 April 2005) was a Mexican football player and an icon of CF Atlante from Mexico City, for which he successfully worked for many years as a top scorer in use and to which he in later years was to return as coach again. In addition Casarín played for four other teams from Mexico City: Necaxa, CF Asturias, Club América and Real Club España. In addition, he was standing by the CF Monterrey in northern Mexico and the CD Zacatepec in the south of the state capital of the state of Morelos located under contract. Casarín was in his time as one of the best football players in Mexico. He is also with 236 goals in championship games (the existing one until 1942/43, and the amateur era from 1943/44, existing professional league together) remains one of the most successful Mexican striker.
Career
Casarín made his debut on 9 February 1936 at the age of 17 in the jersey of Club Necaxa who just lived through the most successful period in the club's history at that time. The term of his Necaxa team, four -time champion in the 1930s, was known because of the great camaraderie as Once hermanos ( eleven brothers ). Only one and a half years later, the 19 -year-old talent on September 12, 1937 made his debut in the Mexican national team in a game against the unpopular neighbors north of the Rio Grande, the Mexicans won with 7:2 and what Casarín could contribute a goal.
In the summer of 1942 Casarín left the club Necaxa and signed with league rivals Atlante, for whom he worked for several successful years, scored 95 goals and with whom he 1946/47, won the championship.
The standing at that time by the Real Club España under contract Casarín also denied all the games of the Mexican national team at the World Cup in Brazil in 1950 and came in the last game at 1-2 against Switzerland a penalty.
After the World Cup he packed his football boots again for the club Necaxa and was that season (1950 /51) for the only time in his career scorer in the first division. Later he played for the CD Zacatepec before he trailed off his active career in rows of CF Monterrey. His last game he played on November 18, 1956 in a game against the CD Tampico. Thus he was more than 20 years as an active soccer player in each of the top division of Mexico in use.
Horacio Casarín died on April 10, 2005, a few months after the death of his wife, from the effects of Alzheimer 's disease.
