Manuel Uribe (footballer)

Nicknamed "Chicho", he played for a variety of clubs in the 1970s and was the primary goalkeeper of Peru during the 1974 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chile.

[2] His biggest success came through serving as the goalkeeper for Defensor Lima during the 1973 Torneo Descentralizado, leading the club to their first title in the tournament.

[2] Uribe made his international debut for Peru during the 1971 CONMEBOL Pre-Olympic Tournament where he served as the main goalkeeper, narrowly missing qualification for the 1972 Summer Olympics.

[2][5] He then participated in the Brazil Independence Cup but would remain as a substitute as Peru wouldn't advance past the group stage.

[6] His international career would abruptly conclude during the 1974 FIFA World Cup qualifiers where manager Roberto Scarone would controversially select Uribe as the leading goalkeeper over Humberto Horacio Ballesteros due to naturalization laws at the time.
