Betis mourn the death of Ordaz, who taught the legendary Rogelio the legendary ‘tosta’ dribble

Born in Seville, Aldaz played for Levante in the 1958-59 season at the age of 19, before joining Betis in the 1959-60 season. He was loaned to Recreativo de Huelva and played in the second category of Spanish football. He wore the green and white first team uniform in the 60-61 season. He was 21 years old. He then moved to Orense, where he played for Granada in the 1962-63 season, and two more seasons in Mallorca, 63-64 and 64-65.

In the summer of 1965, when he had just turned 25, he moved to third base and joined Almería, where he spent four seasons until 1969, becoming captain of the Red and White team. In 1969, Almería withdrew from the competition for financial reasons and ceased to exist.

Since then, Aldaz lived forever in Almeria and, after hanging up his shoes, began to have an architectural studio in the capital, and also developed one of his great passions – a passion for painting, exhibiting his paintings at various public events. And he was also a coach and player in the Almeria Veteran Football Players Association for a long time.

Coincidentally, as Corian recalled in an interview, Aldaz was the one who taught the legendary Rogelio Sosa his famous “tosta” dribble. ABC of Seville:«Would you like a toast? Manolito Ordaz’s dribbling during his time at Betis. “Stand with your back to your opponent, throw the ball in front of you with your right, and when your opponent goes for the ball, step forward with your left,” explains Manuel Ramírez Fernández de Córdoba, who created the “mahogany left foot” after a great Korean soccer player.
