Andrés Da Silva

Club career

Nicknamed El Mariscal (the Marshal), Andrés da Silva is one of the emblematic figures of Universitario de Deportes, where he played 155 matches between 1944 and 1955 and won three Peruvian championships in 1945, 1946, and 1949. He had, however, begun his career with Sport Boys in 1942, the year he won his first Peruvian championship before transferring to Universitario in 1944 for 1,200 soles. He ended his career with Universitario in 1955 following an injury caused by a collision with Sport Boys striker Jorge Lama, from which he never recovered.

International career

A Peruvian international from 1947 to 1949, Andrés da Silva played nine matches (without scoring a goal) for the national team, including three in the 1947 South American Championship in Ecuador and six in the 1949 tournament in Brazil. He and his team finished third in the latter tournament.
