Jorge Toro: the crack of the ‘62 World Cup that made the youngest delirious after seeing him in action

CDF began with the exhibition of the complete matches of the ‘62 World Cup, which generated multiple comments and great reception from the audience, especially the youngest who did not have the opportunity to see Fernando Riera’s team in a complete meeting.

And one of the most praised he got was Jorge Toro. The 8 of that selection amazed those who had not been able to see it and became trends in social networks.

“They can’t not put it on a historic 11”, “He had everything, punch, good looks, technique”, “he was a world class crack”, “he was a spectacular player, as my grandfather used to say”, were some of the thousands of comments that the former Colo Colo garnered.

Jorge Toro, now 81 years old, was at Colo Colo from 1959 to 1962. After that he went to Italy, where he defended the Sampdoria, Modena and Hellas Verona before returning to the Cacique in 1971. He then went through the Unión Española, Deportes Concepción, Audax Italiano and retired at Deportes La Serena in 1976.

For Chile he played 29 times with six goals, the most remembered being the one scored with a fierce auction to Italy in the so-called “Battle of Santiago” and to Brazil in the semifinal.
