Thursday March 9, 2023 will be remembered as a sad day in “el Mundo Talleres”. In the last few hours, Luis Antonio Ludueña, idol of the Jardín neighborhood club, lost his life.
“El Hacha” reached the “T” in mid-1973 and is the fifth player with the most matches with the albiazul jacket (340PJ). In addition, he is the midfielder with the most goals in that shirt, totaling 113 cries.
One of its great sides was Daniel Willington, who in dialogue with FM Suquía’s Super Morning left the following sentences:
“’El Hacha’ had his way of being and living. He was particular but as an athlete he was extraordinary ”.
“He was an exquisite player. If he had not had the injury he would have started in the 1978 team. He played five or eight. He hit the ball very well, he was very thoughtful. In the style of Juan Román Riquelme. He was very smart to play ”.
“I don’t say anything personally, I keep it to myself because it’s gone. He was a player who excelled in the position he played. He was a scorer. He missed a lot of opportunities because of the way he was.”
“At that time there were not the things that are now. In general, the diet was not optimal. He came from a humble family. I had problems too.”
“Both Ludueña and Valencia wreaked havoc on the tour we did in Zaire in 1976, they were highly admired. ´El Hacha´ scored the goal when we came out champions there. Later they wanted to hire him to play for the national team there, but the guidelines for staying were not given. They lived in a very different way.”
“I take this opportunity to greet Mrs. Ludueña and her children, I am very sorry. Life takes us all. I’m already in the 80s and that’s where we soon got together with the black. I have already lost all the companions I had when I started, there must be one or two left. Life is so. He was younger.”
