Player Overview

Pierino Lattuada was a highly-regarded Uruguayan attacking midfielder and forward from the 1970s. He became a club icon at his first team, Liverpool of Montevideo, after debuting at just 18. He was the creative star and "protagonist" of the club's historic 1971 campaign, which saw them achieve their best-ever finish. His talent was so profound that in 1972, he was transferred directly to Girondins de Bordeaux in France for $50,000—a "market-shaking" sum that was used to build the club's new headquarters. A technical player with flair, he went on to have a long career in Europe with Bordeaux and Hércules, and represented Uruguay at the 1974 World Cup.
