José Perdomo
José Batlle Perdomo Teixeira (born 5 January 1965) is a Uruguayan former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.Born in Salto, he started his career with Club Atlético Peñarol in 1983, being later noted in 1989 by Genoa head coach Franco Scoglio during a South-American scouting visit, being signed by the rossoblu together with fellow Uruguayans Carlos "Pato" Aguilera and Rubén Paz.[citation needed] His poor performances later led Vujadin Boškov, head coach of crosstown rivals Sampdoria, to one of his best famous quotes, declared just before the 1989–90 city derby: "If I unleash my dog, it plays better than Perdomo."[1]He was sold to Spanish side Real Betis for the 1990–91, where he made just six appearances, scoring one goal.A notable incident during this spell saw him score a goal against local rivals Estudiantes, which was celebrated so vigorously that it registered as an earthquake on the seismological equipment at the La Plata Astronomical Observatory 600 meters away.
