Football career

It is unclear where or when de los Heros started his playing career but in 1932 he was playing for Barakaldo FC.[7] In 1934 he moved to Sevilla FC.[8] Late in 1936 he joined Gimnástico de Valencia.[9][10] In 1937, in the middle of the Spanish Civil War, he joined Barcelona FC. His first game for them was on the 16 May 1937 against the Catalan national team.[9][11] He never actually played for them in the domestic league but participated in the Barcelona FC tour of North America later in 1937.[9] When the tour ended he signed for Brooklyn Hispano, a United States team that played in the American Soccer League.[9] Later he moved to Mexico where he played for Club Deportivo Euzkadi in the Primera Fuerza league for the 1938/39 season. He also played for the Basque Country national football team twice during that period.[4] Later he joined Club España, before going on to play in several other Mexican teams.[12][13][14][15]
