Uruguay were the first South American team to play in Europe and José Leandro Andrade was the first black international player seen by Europeans, who were so impressed that a quarter of a million people applied for tickets for the 1928 Olympic final.
Andrade played in the final of all three of Uruguay’s great triumphs from 1924-1930, but Andrade was much more than just an exotic footballer.
Andrade’s achievements put him at the pinnacle of the game. In the pre-television world he was football’s first international superstar. He was also its first black superstar and its first rags-to-riches-to-rags player whose life story would make a good film. He was the best-known player in Uruguay’s era of dominance, but whether he was the most influential is harder to say. Some have called him ‘the first Pelé’. Others see him more as ‘the first David Beckham’, a sporting sex symbol with a touch more style than substance.

"... a shoe box full of medals"
Hits hard.
This mans life and legacy has to be made into a movie
Es vaar ntja.
@aljanat5 fuck Hollywood.
Fuck Hollywood we'll go Bollywood
Idris Elba would be the good choice to portray him
@@giodhuha6771 a black/mixed race uruguayan actor should portray him
This story should be more known .
Another stellar video from Tifo !
What about Hector Castro? Another star of the 1930 World Cup win, he accidentally amputated his arm aged 13 and subsequently became the man with the goals for Uruguay and Nacional. Did a great deal for disabled sportsmen.
I would love to see that
As an uruguayan i'm very happy that you guys, take your time to tell his story. Thanks!
Are black people still left in Uruguay?
@@carboy101 yes of course, they represent 9% of the population
Dr0pkidd are you racist or are you genuinely asking
@@devoted_eater567 - I suspect he's merely a racist troll.
Black Uruguayan history is quite impressive, whilst unknown. Uruguay is very interesting and important land in the "New World".
That was a great watch. As a Uruguayan (and Nacional supporter), I really appreciate this kind of content. The football scene in Uruguay back then was fascinating; players with many different backgrounds and styles -some ellegant players like Andrade, some rough leaders like José Nasazzi, goal machines like Héctor Scarone, etc. This diversity and the way these people naturally integrated (as well as the talent those generations showed, obviously) were the keys to the success of our teams in times when our population was below 2 million.
One topic you might find interesting to cover in a future video is the European tour Nacional made in the 20's (which was mentioned in this video). It's considered the longest and most successful tour in football history: 159 days; 38 games (26 W/7 D/ 5 L). The fact that something of that magnitude was achieved in the 1920's is really impressive, and I think it deserves more recognition.
Once again, outstanding work. Cheers!
Uruguyan football is so rich but undercover
1920 is so long ago no football didn't reach many places africa was still a colony soo yeah its was easy to dominate at that time, Uruguay are not that strong nowadays
Uruguay noma!
@@Shakirbindahir1998 Most national team titles in the world says otherwise buddy.
@@Shakirbindahir1998 At least check Wikipedia before embarrassing yourself. The World Cup isn't the only national team tournament. Maybe go back to whatever they do in your african country, football clearly isn't for you.
A legend whom not many people know about. Including me.
Thank you tifo for informing the world about this. You guys are the best.
There's another Center-half from that era who was also black, enjoyed star status in the country and suffered in the end with syphilys and poverty. I am talking about Fausto, a great player from Brazil and Vasco da Gama who made the 1930's world cup team of the tournament and was called "Maravilha Negra". He would die of syphilys in poverty and be buried in a unmarked grave in the same decade. A really tragic life, just like Andrade.
he died of tuberculosis??
This video taught me things I didn't know about this fascinating and tragic story. As a Nacional and Uruguay fan, early century uruguayan football is a source of hope for a traditional powerhouse still recovering from a turbulent time when it was left behind by the jump in popularity that kickstarted the game's most profitable era. Thank you Tifo.
That was heart wrenching
I can't imagine a better partnership for footballing stories than between Tifo and The Blizzard. I hope you will tell many more of their tales.
Tifo is doing a great job in informing us about some people who have been very important for football but they are not so well-known.Also,Tifo is amazing at describing a lot of wonderfull football stories,which people don't know.The work that the Tifo producers do is fantastic and this channel is so underated.
Andrade is the first Kobe Bryant. The 24 and 28 Olympics count as World Cups, FIFA was under IOC and began planning the World Cup! That is why they're officially recognized for Uruguay, and they deserve to sport ⭐⭐⭐⭐🇺🇾. Andrade should never be forgotten, he is the first player to in world cup history to win a 3-peat. The 24 Uruguay national team, showed up without $, they played exhibitions to raise money. Andrade put Uruguay on the map and had an incredible impact on the sport globally. Uruguay deserves more respect historically.
What a fantastic video - I've found myself becoming more and more interested in those "forgotten" early superstars - between this channel and the HITC Sevens guy's Neil Franklin book.
Definitely here for content like this - I genuinely feel like I know a little bit more about the sport than before I watched it, and that's truly the sign of good videos.
Aflie Potters it is,I believe.
They must do a collab ..
Thank you so much excellent video! I can´t believe that people from other lands give him more credit that the one he has in Uruguay. No one ever mention his greatness! At least I never, ever watched a program talking about him... and I am almost 60, and I am from his town of origin.
Sera que en el campo son ignorantes y no lo conocen. Andrade es una leyenda para los Uruguayos, no te confundas.
First ever known football regista. I read about him in my childhood and wondered how such a great footballer can be poor. RIP to a true legend who Black Pearl definitely was.
He seemed to be more aggressive (in terms of tendency to join the attack) than a mere deep-sitting regista. More like a segundo volante (think someone like Cambiasso or Pogba)
And there's also Heleno de Freitas, a legendary striker who played mainly for Botafogo who also was plagued with syphilys and madness, wich cut short his carreer and his life, spending the rest of his days in a asylum.
Arthur Friedenreich, Leônidas da Silva, there are great stories to be told.
Wow
Imagine he played in a time when Graeme Souness is a pundit lol
José Andrade le meilleur footballeur Uruguayen de l histoire
Fernandez was the centrehalf, Andrade was a wingback, the LEFT wingback but he played exactly as you describe him. That starting 11 was top notch. Máspoli, Andrade, Nasazzi, Scarone, Romano, Fernandez, Anselmo, could all be included at random in Uruguay's top 20 - 30 players of all time. Now Andrade wasn't the best of the team but he was ONE of the best indeed. He was one of the few Uruguayan players that had the audacity of playing in Peñarol and Nacional and still be revered in both. If anything, his story is a reminder that alcoholism is as bad as the worst drug. One day you wake up yourslef and the before you know it you're someone else. Partying took away his youthful brio, and not being able to play or coach took away his will of living, once alcohol began to take away his sanity, all that was left for him was to wait for his final breath. When he passed away all of Uruguay mourned him but most people found out nearly 12 hours later.
Can you do a video on the last team to win the spfl that wasn’t rangers or Celtic, sir Alex’s Aberdeen
I'd like that. I know they won a lot of trophies but you don't hear much about it compared to his time at Man Utd even though what he achieved there at a (no offense) relatively smaller club compared to the teams they beat must rank as one of footballs great underdog stories.
damn he lived the life. and thats one heck of a story. it sound so surreal but then again it did happen.
will make a great movie
This was just great. Thanks a lot for sharing the History of one of Footballs earliest Icons. In the tradition of suggesting topics in your comments i would greatly appreciate a Video about Sebastian Deisler, Robert Enke and the intersections between football and mental health.
Sad but informative story. Always wondered about Uruguay's glory days in which they were the top dogs in the world.
Your content is really great,adding more and more less known information with a very nice approach/storytelling.
Definitely one of the channel i kept coming back for
This is such an great and important story, thanks for making this video!
I'm reading Galeano's book, which made me want to come back and check out some Tifo videos and was glad to found his work featured here! I love how well researched and plural your videos are.
Very progressive respect to Urugyans. From a very black player
Yeah well, it got a bit out of hand. Now it's illegal to call a black person black, but we have to call them afro-descendents.
@@facundosilva2449 That is ridiculous! I guess FA stupidity!!!
Thank you! Uruguay was ahead of time in that matter. Thank God. I had to prepare a paper for college about Candombe, music played by the black people of Uruguay. And I was shocked to find that in English there are even books written about the subject! And in one of them I was astounded to read that in a moment in history when most of everyone in the Western Hemisphere were racist, in Uruguay things were different. Eve new immigrants who arrived to Uruguay, no matter what social status they belonged to, they ended up adopting Candombe and Carnaval as part of their culture! And that makes me so proud of my ancestry... which chose not to be racists!
Once again a brilliant video from Tifo!
Great vid. Reminds of Garrincha and Heleno de Freitas, both amazing players for Botafogo and Brazil. Heleno is regarded in Brazil as the first problematic superstar in football. He too was a womanizer, and he even suposedly had and affair with Evita Perón, the first lady of Argentina during the Perón regime. As for garrincha, the man was a god. Best winger of all time, best player of the 1962 chile world cup and, unfortunatly, another player with a serious issue with beer. Both had amazing carreers and talent, but both also suffered tragic and sad deaths due to their drinking habits. Realy hope to see them feature here at your channel someday.
Yes, Garrincha, please!
love when you guys make those stories into videos. keep going!
Brilliant video. Really interesting story. Well selected, animated and narrated by team Tifo. Thanks!
Great video & nice story. Kinda sad that his life turns downward in such a bad way
Outstanding work.
Mate, thank you for such a wonderful content!!! Remarkable👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
the greatest Uruguayan player ever and a true pioneer of the game
I really liked this video. Well written and presented and introduced me to a player I knew nothing about. His story is remarkably similar to that of the Brazilian player Heleno who's life story was turned into a movie of the same name.
absolutely insane that i've never heard about him until now. Clearly he was the Ronaldo/Ronaldo/Messi/Zidane of his era
I should be studying but I'm binge watching Tifo videos😭😭🔥🔥..these are too good
It just makes you think that as far back as the 20's there have been and are footballers all over the world who taste fame, and fall into a circle of alcoholism. Football has come a long way in the past couple of decades in recognising and dealing with mental issues surrounding the sport.
This is the reason I love Tifo football.
Wow!!! I’m shocked. Great freaking job Tifo. Had never even heard the name mentioned.
There is something Tifo videos and especially Joe's narration does to my soul. Can't quite describe it, but I fucking love it!
Great video, more videos like this please!
At it again thanks ❤️
Social media would have not appreciated many players if it was there back then.
And alcoholism is still a problem in this day and age lad. If you have a friend who is having issues with it, do him a favor and make yourself some time to talk to him/her.
Nice video about a legend
I know about Andrade, thanks to Cris Freddi's Complete Book of the World Cup. If you don't have that book yet, order it. It's the World Cup bible.
will do
hey, i know its already a long time..but do you happen to know where to buy it online? im from asia and i can only search it in amazon..and which version you read?? is it the kindle or paperback one?
La Perla negra. Insuperable en sú tiempo. Grande Andrade!!!!. Viva Uruguay!!!!
Amazing
3 time world Champion
Uruguay noma 🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
Uruguay won four World Championships. Just look at its national shirt and count the stars...
Wow!
Super stuff...
A video on why there aren't many black players for Argentina?
Not really football related, however a very interesting and anger inducing topic
@@jessewilliams7863 nice pfp mate
Because they arent that much black people on Argentina? The most you get are Mestizos (whites mixed with natives).
João Silva yes and that is because of the countries history of blanqueamiento.
@@AI-tc8fv as someone from argentina I can give an "oversimplified" explanation:
there are just not that many black pleople in argentina, and even now today most of them are first or second generation immigrants.
The thing is, back in the day, there were not that many black slaves as in other parts of the continent, and at the end of the 19th century, the goverment deported most of them and the left to more "black-friendly" countries, as Brazil and Uruguay.
Of course there are people who are descendants of those people, but there's not such thing as a "black community" in argentina, in the sense of identity. But that goes into how races work in different countries and I promised an oversimplified explanation, so that's pretty much it.
thanks for coming to my ted talk
This hurt.
Is it possible to see some footage during these vids to have an idea how good he was
Hello Joe and Alex...
What happened to Tifo Scouting videos? Have u stop making them??
Please make Tifo Scouting of 1.HNL
Cool video ⚽️
Can you do a video on Barcelona’s Paulino Alcantara?
Can you do paulino alcantara the first asian superstar from Barcelona
This reminds me ,Nicolas Olivera and the current Uruguayan De La Cruz.
why Nico De La cruz?
Video idea:
About AC Milan’s former Swedish trio
Gunnar Nordahl
Gunnar Gren
Nils Liedholm
WOW!…
When are you doing a Vicente del Bosque video?
One on john toshack would be good too!!!!!
Good to see my gen getting introduced to this early great footballer.. it’s true with Ms Baker, after the Olympics in Paris after the team flew back home he stayed around chillin in the city and had an affair with her.. France was in awe with him and how he played. See this was a time where the English still believed they were too good for the rest of the world, they also believed blacks or women could never be able to even play football nvm succeed at it. So you could imagine some Europeans finding this man incredible
Please do a video on Oscar tabarez
More like this please..
Like Djalminha or
Roberto Rojas...
Tifo can u plz do some vids on Argentine players
wow😪
I wanna see this La Tijera skill
it's an Overhead kick.
.....you know... how bale scored in the champions league final and Zidane loved it
@@frieza2235 Andrade's Tijera was defensive not offensive; it's basically a scissor tackle
@@STANKYCHEEZEMAYNE oh ok, my bad
@04:13 So I guess "Guardiola's" 2-3-4-1 tactical set up for City's attacking shape with the inverted Sidebacks was done long before...
"a syphilitic hell". ohh, that is one of the bad ones.
1:29 pretty sure his father was from brazil
That was a story
When Chileneans saw Andrade playing for our selection team...they presented a formal complain iin Fifa because the uruguayans" PLAY WITH AFRICANS in their national team"..Yep it was the first selection team to add black players but of course he was real uruguayan..
Do who can replace roberto firmino or like alternative to roberto firmino
The first Balotelli 😜🌑
Ian Thurnbridge 😂
Or the first Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He seems to have some qualities that are not too dissimilar to the Swede
Andrade was better than Balotelli ever will be.
Can you make a story of leonidas da silva and didi
Man was lost in the sauce lmaaaooo
What a bloke!😂
Sounds like an original Denis Rodman.
Teach me I want to learn
PLEASE do a video about ROYAL ANTWERP and their heritage. Like Celtic's proud Irish background, Royal Antwerp of Belgium are very proud of their English heritage. Their fans actually sing a lot of their songs in English and passionately support their team in a typical English way. In fact, on and off the pitch they were like the Leeds United of Belgian football and only recently got promoted back to where they belong and almost qualified for the Europa League groups this season.
COME ON TIFO! 🙏
Jack Johnson, first Black sporting hero
Jose Leandro Andrade,first Black football superhero
Jesse Owens,first Black and unsurpassed athletes.
This story originally appeared on the athle.. I mean the blizzard.
He was called "la merveille noire" by the French!
Interesting that there hasn’t been a Uruguayan black player for so so long
There's been a ton of Uruguayan black players since, and to this day. Do your research.
Wtf there’s plenty still
Araújo
Theres been a lot but not many have been VERY good
Lol
what is syphilys?
its a sexually transmitted disease which first shows with swollen lymph nodes and various skin conditions. If left untreated syphilys will attack the central nervous system causing damages like blindness, loss of muscle control as well as severe neuropsychiatric disorders. The last Stage of untreated syphilis is usually the general paresis of the insane.
I hope i got the Conditions right, not a natural in english.
@@WizoIstGott is this disease still in there today? or is it only in late 1920s?
It is still a common STD, in Germany it's about 5 new infections per year per 100k capita. It usually treatable by antibiotics and with diagnosis getting easier and protection being more avaible its less of an issue than in the 20s.
@@enochezekiel5589 it's coming back actually
@@enochezekiel5589 No sushi game bra.
So where the medal end up ?
Plz do Paulinho Alacantara the first asian great in football.
Something like a 1920s Kante i guess ?
@Christian Hernandez creative cdms that are loved by everyone
Id say more like a pogba, he was tall and technical.
@@asaditus pogba is hated by everyone
@@KingTaarabt i was talking about his playing style.
It's difficult to say he was loved by everyone as that was a very racist society (especially outside of uruguay)
We can say he was still, very admired and hes a footballer ahead of his time.
Nothing like Kante look at the video lol the guy loved women and alcohol
This reminds me of the Argentina is white memes
He died the same way Al Capone died.
u cant make bad videos can you?
Rags to Riches back to Rags
His face in the thumbnail reminds me of Pepe the Frog for some reason.
his mother was argentinian but there was no record of his father... hmmmmmmmmmm
