Francisco Ugarte Hidalgo played two seasons in Belgium for SC Charleroi.

AZ book gives for d.o.b. 21-03-1961.

An American website says 21-03-1959.

What is right please ? Peter (BSH) what do you have as d.o.b. ?

Thanks in advance.

I believe he must know his correct DOB :-)

I have a strong feeling that Ugarte and Hurtado both lied about their age when they signed for Charleroi. Also Hurtado was in fact 2 years older than the birthdate published in newspapers and magazines. Let's wait which dob they gave to the Belgian Footballassociacion (KBVB). BSH can inform us.

That was a very common case.

The corrected DOB is 21/03/1961 but....Hurtado Galeguillo Heriberto Oswaldo have in Belgium 02/11/1959 and Chili says 02/11/1957 (the same trouble).

Thanks all. I think it's better we go for 1959 as birthyear.
