Carlos Armando Lara Torres , also known as El Charro was an Argentine-born naturalized-Mexican citizen footballer and coach. Born in 1934 in Argentina, Lara died in Mexico City in 2001.[1]
Born in Argentina, Lara began his football career with Ferro and River Plate.[2] In 1956, he moved to Mexico where he played for Zacatepec, scoring 112 goals and being the top league scorer three times, two of which were consecutive.[3] Lara began to decline in his later years, only achieving eight goals in the 1964–65 season.
He was then sold to Toluca, where he only scored six goals the entire season, then to Necaxa where he scored five in two seasons.[1]
