Los grandes centre- forwards

This page is taken from an edition of Mundo Uruguayo published in 1930, the centenary of the nation. The issue was titled 'The Resurgence of the Nation' and focused on the triumphs of the Uruguay national team in the 1920s. The magazine was published on July 18th, the day of the hosts' first ever World Cup match.

The 4 centre forwards featured are:

Rene Borjas (Wanderers)
7 appearances (1923-28) 3 goals.

South American Championship Winner 1926.

José Nasazzi and women (#2)

I can't quite make out the text, but I'm guessing this is the first anniversary of Uruguay's triumph in the Amsterdam Olympics. 
Nasazzi , looking as uncompromising as ever, knee bandaged, is flanked by two rather operatic looking ladies draped in Uruguayan flags. 
As effective World Champions Uruguay were confirmed as host nation for the inaugural World Cup at the 18th FIFA congress at Barcelona in 1929. 

1928

Ángel Melogno (Bella Vista) - inside forward

Juan (Eduardo)  Martinez  (Miramar Misiones)-  right half 

Alvaro Gestido (Peñarol)- left half 

Antonio Campolo (Peñarol)-wing

René Borjas (Montevideo Wanderers)- centre forward

Fausto Batignani (Liverpool- Montevideo) - goalkeeper

Domingo Tejera (Montevideo Wanderers)- full back

Adhemar Canavesi (Bella Vista) - full back

Juan Píriz ( Nacional)- centre half

José Nasazzi (Bella Vista) - defender

During 1928 the magazine Mundo Uruguayo featured these lovely art deco inspired covers showing players who had been a part of the Olympic gold medal squad. 

Juan Martinez is included (most records show him as Eduardo Martinez)- Martinez was known as the 23rd Olympian- he was sailing as a replacement for Andrade. Andrade however, relented from his earlier refusal to travel and displaced Martinez from the squad.

Of the players pictured Nasazzi, Gestido, Campolo,  Píriz and Borjas played in either the final or the replay.

Canavesi's contribution is well known.
