Career
[edit]A versatile midfielder, Díaz is a product of Ferrobádminton [es], the club after Bádminton FC, and made his debut in the 1966 season wearing the number 6 in a match against Audax Italiano.[2] In his homeland, he also played for Rangers,[3] Colo-Colo[4][5][6] and Naval,[7] only in the top division.[2]
He was a member of the Rangers squad that became the runner-up in the 1969 season, won the Torneo Provincial [es] and qualified to the 1970 Copa Libertadores. In the tournament, Díaz scored against Deportivo Cali and Universidad de Chile.[8] The next year, he also took part in the Copa Libertadores with Colo-Colo.[9][2]
After the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, he emigrated to Guatemala and played for Aurora,[10] Deportivo Zacapa, Cobán Imperial, Galcasa and Universidad SC. He won league titles with Aurora in 1975 and 1978.[2] In Deportivo Zacapa, he coincided with his compatriot Carlos Pacheco.[11]
At international level, he was called up to the Chile national team in 1972 for a tournament in Brazil. However, Rangers did not give him permission.[2]
Personal life
[edit]He was nicknamed Carita de Toni (Little Clown Face) since he was a child due to his sense of humour.[2]
