José Leandro Andrade Quiroz[1] (22 November 1901 – 5 October 1957) was a Uruguayan professional footballer who played as a wing-half.

Andrade was born in Salto in 1901 to an Argentine mother (Anastasia Quiroz, also spelled Vázquez[citation needed]).

[3] At an early age Andrade moved to the Palermo barrio in Montevideo where he lived with an aunt.

In the early 1920s Andrade was signed by Bella Vista, where he played 71 matches and scored seven goals.

[12] Andrade played in South American Championship (now known as Copa América) winning teams in 1923, 1924 and 1926.

In the ensuing riot a member of his team was arrested and the Uruguayans refused to play out the remainder of the match.

During the semi-final match against Italy Andrade collided with a goal post, seriously injuring an eye.

[3][11] After touring nine European countries with Andrade's Uruguayan club side Nacional, in 1925, they attracted a total of over 800,000 spectators.

Andrade played half of that tour when he was told by a doctor in Brussels that he had contracted syphilis.
