Abdón Porte

Porte arrived in Montevideo in 1908, where he played for Colón, then moving to defunct club Libertad. He was later transferred to Nacional, debuting on 12 March 1911, v. Dublin F.C. Porte played as a right back. Playing for Nacional, Porte gained notability being also team's captain. He was defined as a fierce midfielder and good at stopping rival players and heading the ball. He played a total of 207 games for Nacional, winning 19 titles with the club. Porte was cited by writer Xosé de Enríquez in his book Hacia el Campo van los Albos:

(Porte) was a typical defensive man of combative style: tenacious, centre-back of a brilliant period of Uruguayan football. Abdón Porte was notable, with well-known defensive and collaborative extraordinary virtues that will be remembered for a long time by older fans. He was a good guy, "friend of his friends"; gauchazo for doing good. Calm on the field although rivals kick him until he breaks. Porte would play his last match v. Charley F.C. (Nacional won by 3–1) before committing suicide one day later.

Porte debuted for the national team in 1913, against Argentina, and scored his only goal for the national team in that occasion. He'd be capped in another two matches, against Chile in 1916, and against Brazil in 1917. He was a member of the Uruguay squad that won the 1917 South American Championship but did not play a game at the tournament.
