Nicknamed Sheriff, he gave Guadalajara fourteen years and won the 1986-87 Primera División there, played all five games of Mexico's run to the 1986 quarter-finals, and closed his international career on 45 caps and five goals. Career record: 45 caps and 5 goals for Mexico; club career at C.D. Guadalajara, Atlas, Leones Negros de la Universidad de Guadalajara.
