Víctor Hugo Cabrera Sánchez (born 9 November 1957) is a Chilean former footballer.

He has been one of the most prolific goalscorers in Chilean football history.[1]

International career

[edit]

He was part of a Chile squad which was called Selección Joven (young squad), with Luis Santibáñez as the team coach, that was preparing for the 1982 FIFA World Cup.[2]

Personal life

[edit]

He is better known by his nickname Pititore: a fusion between Pituco, a Chilean way of referring to people from the aristocracy, and Cantatore, the surname of the football coach Vicente, who was well-known at the time. The nickname was born when Cabrera worked as a cleaner for wealthy women – "viejas pitucas" according to him – and used to sing (cantar in Spanish), turning the word cantar into Cantatore.[3]
