biography

"Fello" Hernández began his professional career in 1955 at Club León , with whom he won the championship title and the Supercup in his first season (1955/56) . Two years later he won the Copa México with León , so that he could win all three of Mexico's major club titles once.

Before the 1961/62 season, he moved to CF Monterrey and was the first player in the history of the Rayados to wear the jersey of the national team while playing in Monterrey . With this, Hernández wrote history twice. Because the said mission took place on June 7, 1962 in the historic 3-1 victory against eventual runner-up Czechoslovakia, the first ever World Cup victory for a Mexican national team.

Hernández played a total of six internationals, scoring five goals. First he played four World Cup qualifiers in 1957 against the USA (6-0, 7-2) and Canada (3-0, 2-0). He scored his five international goals in the games against Mexico's arch-rivals USA: the 1-0 and 4-0 in his international debut (6-0) on April 7, 1957 and three weeks later on April 28, he even scored three goals (that 1: 1, 2: 1 and 6: 2) contributed to the 7: 2 success of his team.

Hernández was called up twice in the Mexican World Cup squad, where he was used once - in 1958 in the first game against Sweden (0: 3) and in 1962 in the aforementioned historic victory against Czechoslovakia (3: 1).
