Arenteiro and Ourense fire the master of promotions

It was a youth drive veracruzin O Carballiño, and became a key word arenteiro for more than a decade—in two phases—although that gave him time to also star in one of the most celebrated times CD Ourense.

With the green, he was one of the locals who made a historic leap into the then reconfigured Segunda B in 1987.

A genius and a figure at the back or on the sidelines, Luis always said that the football of his time was more difficult: “It’s a different kind of football today, especially on the pitches, sometimes we played in really muddy places”.
