Jorge Alcalde in school was the tallest in his class, so he was compared to the Argentine boxer Victorio Campolo, known as the Giant of Quilmes, keeping this nickname. Brother of Teodoro and Victor Alcalde.
He was a dark-haired crack, with a profiled nose and curly hair. He made his debut in professional soccer in 1933, playing for Sport Boys del Callao, a club to which he belonged since 1929, recently created by Gualberto Lizárraga. He was a striker and because of his size he was able to earn respect in that difficult position.
From 1939 to 1946 he played for River Plate of Buenos Aires alongside José Manuel Moreno, Adolfo Pedernera and Luis María Rongo. Then he moved to Banfield where he played from 1942 to 1945, playing 160 matches and later to Talleres de Remedios de Escalada. Liverpool de Montevideo had him on loan for 16 matches in the Uruguayan championship.
Back in 1947, he joined Deportivo Municipal. He was hired in 1948 by Universitario de Deportes, whose team was coached by Arturo Fernández. He won the championship (1949), with two games to go, along with the legendary Teodoro Fernández and the emerging figure of Alberto Terry, returning to the team of his love, the Boys, with whose shirt he closed his brilliant cycle. From then until 1953, he played 89 matches.
In 1938, already more mature, he was part of the Peruvian team that won the gold medal in the Bolivarian Games of Bogota, scoring 3 goals in the 9-1 victory over Ecuador, 1 goal in the 4-2 win over Colombia and 1 goal in the 3-0 win over Bolivia, becoming the top scorer of the tournament. With Peru he won the South American Championship of 1939, scoring 5 goals, two of them against Ecuador, one against Chile, one against Paraguay and on the final day he opened the scoring in the 2-1 victory over Uruguay, which gave the Peruvian national team its first official international title. He ended up as the second top scorer of the tournament after Lolo Fernández. From that moment on, he emigrated to Argentinean soccer and would not wear his country's jersey again.
- He was an attacker with great technical quality and elegance in his movements, many described him as a combination between the impish play of Alejandro Villanueva and the goal-scoring forcefulness of Lolo Fernandez.
- Football-wise, Campolo was exceptional in his technical and elegant play. Perhaps more sober than Villanueva, but equally masterful. Perhaps with a less powerful shot than Lolo but equally effective. Compared to the best header that Peruvian soccer has ever had, Valeriano Lopez also scored great goals from the air. Without the forcefulness of Tanque de Casma -who “kicked with his head”- but with an incomparable quality: either ‘combing’ or “placing”, he scored many and very good goals.
- He was a tall, dark-skinned, curly-haired striker. He was considered one of the best strikers in Peruvian soccer, technically gifted, and with enough elegance to be worthy of participating in a team that was characterized by the beauty of its play and that was beginning to give birth to one of the best teams in the history of Argentine soccer.
- He was also a goal scorer, had a precise shot, although not very powerful, and an exquisite head shot with a technical gesture of excellence.
- In the “Taladro” he played 58 matches and scored on 29 occasions. He then had a brief spell with Talleres de Remedios de Escalada and Liverpool of Uruguay, before finally returning to Peruvian soccer in 1947.
