Miami, United States.
Another world champion has left us. The former Honduran footballer Celso Fredy Güity Núñez, 65, died Thursday in Miami, United States, of a bone cancer that affected him for a time until leading to his death.
Güity, who played as a winger, was part of the Honduran national team at the 1982 World Cup in Spain, although he did not play in any matches. It was in the process for this historical classification, participating in the eliminatory one and the hexagonal one under the orders of Chelato Uclés.
Celsinho, as he was called, lived a period of glory in football, but it was not very long. It played in two equipment of the National League, in the Marathon, with which it left champion in 1985, and in the Sula of the Lima. In addition he was legionary to the military man in the Municipal one of Guatemala.
He decided to leave football to help his family, as at that time the salary he had as a footballer was very low and did not reach him and for various reasons he was not punctual when it came to paying, he explained in an interview in 2010.
The need to move forward led him to seek a better future and emigrate to the United States, where his life took a total turn. The man born in Corozal went from being a world champion to a builder. With a lot of effort and work he managed to settle on American soil.
Güity joins the unfortunate list of old glories of Honduran football that have died. With him, there are six ex-globalists who are no longer in this world after the deaths of Domingo Droumond Cooper, Francisco Javier Toledo, Roberto ‘Robot’ Bailey, Roberto ‘Male’ Figueroa and Luis Cruz, who was a victim of the coronavirus .
