PROVENANCE: Eder Lezcano, son of Juan Lezcano, former player for Olimpia and Peñarol in the 1950s and 1960s, declares that this short-sleeved Universidad Católica jersey, with a red leather back, was given to his father by defender Sergio Valdés after several years of playing in international competitions. That jersey has remained in your house ever since, and his father proudly told me and your family what a great player Valdés had been.
