Luis Moreno (footballer)

He gained notoriety after violently kicking an injured barn owl that had landed on the pitch during a league match between Junior de Barranquilla and Deportivo Pereira.

Born in Panama City, "Lucho" Moreno began playing football with Venezuelan side Deportivo Italia.

[6] Moreno was loaned to Deportivo Pereira in January 2011,[7] but returned to Tauro later that year,[8] where he would help the club win its tenth league title in 2013.

[9] Moreno made his debut for Panama in a June 2000 friendly match against Venezuela and has earned a total of 76 caps, scoring no goals.

Moreno received a two-match ban, a $560 fine from Colombian football's governing body in addition to veterinary costs for the owl's treatment and was ordered to do community service at a zoo.
