Hugo Sánchez

There are two well-known Mexican footballers named Hugo Sánchez. Below is information on both to clarify which one played for the Dallas Burn (now FC Dallas):

  • Hugo Sánchez Márquez (born 1958)
    - Most famous Mexican striker; starred for UNAM Pumas, Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid during the 1980s.
    - Renowned for prolific goal scoring and acrobatic celebrations (notably bicycle kicks).
    - Played internationally for the Mexico national team and later had coaching spells.
    - He did not play for the Dallas Burn.
  • Hugo Sánchez Portugal (1984–2014)
    - Son of Hugo Sánchez Márquez.
    - Played as a midfielder/forward in Mexico and had a short playing career.
    - He did not play for the Dallas Burn either.

Player who did play for Dallas Burn:

  • Hugo Sánchez Guerrero (born 1981)
    - Mexican defender/midfielder who played briefly for the Dallas Burn in Major League Soccer.
    - Often listed as Hugo Sánchez Guerrero to distinguish him from the more famous Hugo Sánchez Márquez.
    - Played in MLS during the 2000s and also represented several clubs in Mexico as well as the Mexico national youth teams.
