Cirilo "Pepe" Fernández (born on 14 July 1943) is a former Uruguayan
American Soccer League
, and five in the Netherlands.
Fernández started his career at
North American Soccer League (NASL). When that happened, the Toros moved to San Diego. Fernandez remained with the San Diego Toros in 1968 where he was selected as a first team All Star and set a league scoring record with 30 goals.[1]
The Toros folded at the end of the season, along with 12 other franchises.
One of those teams—Oakland Clippers, who were 1967 NPSL champions and were one of the top teams in the 1968 NASL—opted to play an independent schedule against top foreign clubs. The Clippers boosted their offense for 1969 by signing Fernandez, as well as 1968 leading scorer John Kowalik. Renaming themselves "California Clippers," the team only played a handful of games before folding.
Fernandez then moved to the
American Soccer League. The Tides went to the ASL playoff semifinals but folded soon after. Fernandez then played HFC Haarlem
before returning to the Sounders for the 1981-1982 NASL indoor season.
Fernández lives in Everett, Washington, where he owns an indoor soccer business.[1][3]
