Pedro Damián Araya Toro (born 23 January 1942), known as Pedro Araya,[1] is a Chilean former football player who played as a right winger.
Playing career
Toro represented the Chile national team at the 1966 World Cup, and played all three matches for the squad. Between 1964 and 1972, he was capped 65 times and scored 14 goals for his country.[2]
A very skillful and fast player, Araya played as a classic "number 7" (the shirt number associated with an "outside" forward). Along with Campos and Carlos Leonel Sanchez formed the great offensive triplet of the 'Ballet Azul'. His career also continues in Mexico playing for the San Luis de Potosi and Atlas de Guadalajara (even in a friendly it was a goal at Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu himself).[3]
In America's Cup in Montevideo, 1967, Araya was called by the Uruguayan press: The Chilean Garrincha.
