The MOST FAMOUS Uruguayan SOCCER PLAYERS:
Jose Nasazzi
Captain of the1930 World Cup Champions - Uruguay
2-time Olympic Gold Medal Winner with Uruguay 1924, 1928
Copa America MVP in 1926 and 1935.
El Kapitan was perhaps the greatest Uruguayan Footballer ever!
Jose Leandro Andrade
"The Black Marvel" never faked injury and was a great right half (right midfield) and attacked as a winger due to his great speed, great defensively and his play along with Nasazzi setup Pedro Cea, , Hector Scarone. Fair minded on the pitch and was a magician with the ball. Arguably the best player of the 1930 World Cup he injured his eye hitting the goal post playing against Italy. Revered in Europe as the footballer with the Golden Feet!
Also 2 Olympic Gold Medals, 3 South American Championships and 4 National Championships.
Obdulio Varela
Great Classic Center-Half that lead his team in 1950 back from 1-0 down to a 2-1 win over Brazil in front of roughly 200,000 fans in Brazil at the Maracana to win the World Cup.
Enzo Francescoli
Inspired Zidane and was a 2-time COPA AMERICA MVP in 1983 and 1995.
Juan Schiaffino
Imaginative forward that scored the tying goal in the famous 1950 Final against Brazil in front of 200,000 fans.
Alcides Ghiggia
With 4 goals in 4 games in 1950 and the winning goal against the favored Brazilian team he will always be remembered by Uruguayan fans for the winning goal of World Cup 1950.
Luis Alberto Cubilla
A top player and coach in Uruguay from the 1950's on.
There are many other famous Uruguayan Players such as:
Pedro Petrone, Pedro Cea, Hector Castro, Hector Scarone, Iriarte and Anselmo from the great 1930 World Cup Team and some of these players also played on the 1924 and 1928 Olympic Gold Medal Winning Teams.
You forgot to add Alvaro Recoba, if he had a solid mental ethic he would have been easily the best player the world has seen since Pele and Maradona. As it stands he left much of his potential unfufilled, however he still played at the highest level and showed more than enough of his sublime skill to be rated as one of the greatest ever Uruguayan player, and at times one of the best in the world, easily.
I still can't get over the fact you left out Alvaro Recoba, clearly not a football fan but a copy paste merchant.
