Mexican football and the media in the country are in mourning. The voice of the Aztec stadium is extinguished. On the night of Sunday, November 4, Melquiades Sánchez Orozco died at age 90. Artist and animator, Sánchez Orozco gave his voice at the Azteca stadium for 52 years, from its inauguration in 1966 and until his death.
"El Perraco", as he was known, made his serious voice an icon of Mexican football and accompanied the greatest events that the Colossus of Santa Ursula received, World Cup finals from 1970 and 1986 to the many finals of the Liga MX. In addition, his vocal voice gave Televisa's Channel 5 an identity and several television and radio commercials during his more than five-decade career.
Televisa has confirmed the news after rumors broadcast on social networks in the night from Sunday to Sunday. The causes of death of the legendary announcer did not transcend, any more than if the family held a funeral.
Don Melquiades has had health problems in the last few months that have led him away from his work in front of the microphones and speakers of the Azteca stadium. In November 2017, he received a tribute on the field at the half-time meeting of the quarter-finals of the 2017 opening between America and Cruz Azul.
