Noguera lacked power when shooting at goal but he had an extraordinary ability to place the ball where he wanted.

[1] [2] [3] Enrique Noguera also played Fourth Division for Club Atletico Velez-sarsfield and won it with Miguel Ángel Rugilo, "the Lion of Wembley", as goalkeeper.

Noguera had his debut, in First Division, playing for San Lorenzo against Club Atletico Platense who they beat 5–1.

San Lorenzo did not want to release Noguera to Nueva Chicago in 1932 but with some intervention from a top dignitary the transfer was consummated.

[6] José Noguera's debut in First Division with Nueva Chicago took place on 10 September 1932, against Defensores de Belgrano.

[7] [8] José Miguel Noguera was very instrumental when Nueva Chicago won their only major competition to date, the "Torneo Competencia" on 24 December 1933, by defeating Club Atletico Banfield 1 to 0.

[2] [12] It was during this period that Noguera was drafted and serving his military duty, attached to an artillery unit at Campo Cinco de Mayo, in Buenos Aires.

[2] Noguera was granted leave to practice with the Argentina national team, of which he was one of the star players.

[4] There is conflicting documentation that indicates Oscar DeDovitis and José M. Noguera were both tied for leading scorer that year with 12 goals each.

Noguera, Antonio Battaglia and Miguel Ángel Rugilo, played in the 1940 league tournament that was considered one of the saddest incidents in Argentine football history.

River Plate, with the likes of José Manuel Moreno, had one of the best forward lines in Argentine history, dubbed the MACHINE by Borocotó.

They suffered a great tragedy on Mexico's Independence Day when they were refueling their bus, an incendiary device caused the bus to be engulfed in flames causing severe injuries to many of the players and a couple of them died later as a result of their sustained injuries.

The first is being the team that received the most goals in a game, 14–0 against the Veracruz Sporting Club, in which Noguera missed a penalty.

Atlante became the pride of Mexico City, even the Nation's president, Miguel Alemán Valdés, became their fan, taking a picture with the team prior to a match.

During the 1947–48 season, Noguera tied with Horacio Casarin for second place honors in the goal scoring department.

[28] "Noguerita" stayed in 1948 and played as a professional in the Greater Los Angeles Soccer League (GLSL) from 1948 until 1954.

During his stay in Southern California, Noguera became the propagandist for the sport of soccer and a mentor to the many young players around him.

[29] In California the newspaper reporters and public referred to Noguera as "el maestro" and "Mr. soccer" due to his superb dribbling and ball skills.

[30] Noguera was a player/coach for the Pan American Club that won the league Championship in 1948, becoming the first Latin team to win the "GLSL" title in 35 years.

Tony Morejon was Noguera's manager on both the San Pedro Yugoslavs and the McIlwaine Canvasbaks teams.

It appears that after the 1950 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, where the USA defeated England, soccer in Southern California started to spark some interest.

In 1953 Noguera almost had his leg amputated as a result of a bad foul during a crucial league game against the St. Stephens Club.

[33] It was nothing short of a miracle that Noguera came back to play after his surgery and continued to have a big impact on the pitch right up to the month before his unexpected demise.
