Luis Alejandro García Barrera (born January 26, 1961 in Monterrey , Nuevo León ), also known by the nickname El Gallo , is a retired Mexican football player in the position of goalkeeper .

career

García spent his first professional years with CD Coyotes Neza , where he was under contract until their withdrawal from the first division in 1988.

He then moved to the neighboring Club America , with which he won the Mexican football championship in the 1988/89 season. He was also part of the squad of the successful team that also won the Supercup in 1989 and twice the CONCACAF Champions' Cup and the 1991 Copa Interamericana in the following three years .

In the last years of his membership in the Americanistas, García also made the leap into the Mexican national football team , for which he was always used when the regular national goalkeeper Jorge Campos from city ​​rival UNAM Pumas switched to attack (!). This happened three times in July 1993, when El Tri had already played out a comfortable lead: in the 9-0 win over Martinique on July 11th, García was substituted on in the 46th minute when the score was 4-0, at 8-0 against Canada on July 18 in the 61st minute when the score was 5-0 and 6-1 against Jamaica in the 59th minute, when the Mexicans had already scored all six goals.

In early 1995 García moved to Puebla FC , in whose ranks he let his active career end.

In 2006 he ran for the Partido Verde Ecologista de México (PVEM), Mexico's Green Ecological Party, for the city council of Irapuato .
