Club career
Colo-Colo
Margas was born in Santiago de Chile. He experienced the most successful period in his career with his first club Colo-Colo, where he was part of four league championship winning squads. He was also part of the club's first Copa Libertadores win in 1991, and also won two other international tournaments.
Club América
In 1995 Margas joined Club América in Mexico but didn't settle, returning to Colo-Colo in 1996.
Universidad Católica
Margas then joined Universidad Católica, where he was part of the squad that won the 1997 Apertura.
West Ham United
Margas' last years as a player were spent with West Ham United. He scored once during his spell with West Ham, in a 5–0 win over Coventry City in April 2000.[1] In 2001, Margas gained notoriety for disappearing from England without a trace and many weeks passed before he was found in his home country,[2] having effectively retired from football.
International career
Margas played 63 times for the Chile national team.[3] He played in Chile's four games at the 1998 FIFA World Cup.
Personal life
Margas was famous for dyeing his hair in different colours and shapes (most notably with the Chilean flag colours).
Since retiring from football, Margas has worked as a youth coach at Colo-Colo, appeared on a reality TV show called Expedición Robinson, ran his own business, and bought former dictator Augusto Pinochet's armoured car.[4]
His daughter, Catalina, was a Chile international footballer at under-17 level and took part in the 2008 South American U-17 Women's Championship.[5]
