Victor Henry Perales Vargas (30 March 1947 – 23 July 2021) was a Peruvian footballer who played as an attacking midfielder.[3]
Nicknamed El Chejo,[4] Henry Perales began his career with Defensor Arica in 1967. He played in the 1970 Copa Libertadores with this club (one match).[1]
However, he spent the majority of his career in the 1970s with CNI of Iquitos, where he remained one of the key players. In 1977, he formed a formidable attacking duo with Bernabé Navarro, propelling CNI to the top of the league.[4] He was then recruited the following year by Alianza Lima, where he won the 1978 league title and played in the 1978 Copa Libertadores (three matches).[1]
Having seen little playing time at Alianza Lima, he returned to CNI where he ended his career in 1982 after a brief stint with Atlético Chalaco in 1981.
A Peruvian international, Henry Perales played only three friendly matches for Peru, all in 1976.[5]
Managerial career
After becoming a coach, Henry Perales won the Copa Perú twice, in 1985 with Hungaritos Agustinos and then ten years later, in 1995, with La Loretana.[6]
Death
Perales died on 23 July 2021, at the age of 74.[7]
