- However, in 1941, a Peruvian showed off his mobility and goal-scoring ability in the undefeated champion Colo Colo Colo: César Socarraz.
- Still young, the speedy inside back was watched by Colo Colo Colo's people due to his dribbling ability and the fantasy he brought to his game.
- The following year Socarraz had to leave the institution because it was decided to “Chileanize” the team. He was transferred to Banfield of Argentina but he did not register in time so he had to return to Peru, but not without having received the full amount of the bonus that corresponded to him, which was, according to César himself, the largest amount of money he received in his life and without having played. He returned to the ‘U’, then went to Centro Iqueño and Municipal (here no longer as an inside back but as a wing) but knee and ankle injuries prevented him from continuing. He had to retire shortly after his 31st birthday.
- In his three seasons, César Socarraz scored a total of 33 goals and played 69 times for the albo team, achieving an average of 0.48 goals per game. A statistic that is more than appreciable yesterday and today.
- Socarraz emerged from the lower divisions of the “U”. At the age of 14 or 15 he was already playing for his “calichines” team. He quickly stood out among his teammates and at the age of 17 he was already among the “Primera” players. Dominator of the ball, with a good dribbling, bullador, dangerous in the area, he became one of the notable “right interiors” of Universitario de Deportes. In his game he also stood out for his speed, and something that at the beginning was his defect: the tendency to personalism, to “eat” the ball and to want to score all the goals by himself. This defect was corrected with time.
