A wide forward who eventually converted to becoming a deep-lying playmaker, Suarez spent six years at Barcelona between 19555 and 1961, winning two LaLiga titles.

He then joined the legendary Inter side of the 1960s – known as La Grande Inter – where he won back-to-back European Cups in 1964 and 1965.

Suarez would also go on to win the European Championships with Spain in 1964.

In his post-playing career, Suarez managed Inter on three separate occasions, as well as Cagliari, SPAL and Como.
