The forgotten game of Carlos Campos playing for Colo Colo against River Plate

Chilean football is mourning the unfortunate death of Carlos Campos, a fearsome striker who left his mark as a member of the Universidad de Chile, which is together with Esteban Paredes, the top scorer in superclassics.

After fighting for many years with a terrible disease to his lungs, the Tank ceased to exist at the age of 83, as confirmed by his family environment.

The former forward is one of the most iconic players of the Blues, in fact, he did not officially wear another jersey. He made his debut with the U in 1956 and retired in 1969, although he had an exception in a friendly.

Data Albos shared on his Twitter account a memory of when Carlos Campos wore the Colo Colo shirt in a friendly where the Albos faced River Plate at the National Stadium.

This occurred on the afternoon of May 17, 1961. El Tanque entered the second half for Juan Soto and when the game was 1-2 in favor of the Millionaire team, but the legendary Amadeo Carrizo stopped his header.

Finally, the result was maintained and the Argentines prevailed over the Cacique with a formation in which José Varacka and Roberto Frojuell played, who years later reinforced the albos.

On the other hand, the CSD Colo Colo also added to the condolences for the relatives and close friends of Carlos Campos through their social networks, where they also highlight their outstanding participation in the Chilean team that reached third place in 1962.

But in the memory are the minutes with which Carlos Campos dressed in white, a worthy and exemplary rival who made history in Chilean football.
