Another 1970s top footballer, Charles “Chuck” Gutierrez passes
BELIZE CITY, Mon. Sept. 2, 2024
We received the sad news today of the passing of an outstanding midfielder of the 1960s-70s, Charles “Chuck” Gutierrez, who was a fixture on the Toledo selection that gave nightmares to clubs across the country, especially the Stann Creek selection, in their heyday.
