Early years

Born in Los Sauces, Chile, Mohor represented the team of the normal school of Victoria commune at the age of 16 and the team of the same city a year later, playing also for the teams of another communes such as Mulchén, Los Ángeles and Traiguén. Then, he represented the team of University of Concepción in regional tournaments where competed teams of industries such as Fanaloza.[1]

He joined Palestino after a trial in 1954 with the Serbian Miodrag (or Milan) Stefanović[2] as coach, winning in 1955 both the Primera División and the reserves national championship.[3]

After playing for Palestino, in October 1961 he played for Colo-Colo. In 1962 he switched to Santiago Morning.[3] In his stint with the club, it is remembered a tragic car accident that he and three fellows suffered in January 1963, when they came back to Santiago after a match against Deportes La Serena, dying his fellow Jorge Huasito Fuenzalida.[4]

After a stint in Spain, he played for Unión La Calera (1966)[5] and Deportes Concepción (1967–68), with whom he won the 1967 Segunda División and got promotion to the top division, being well remembered along with his Argentine fellow Óscar Coll.[6]

In Spain

As an anecdote, he was registered as born in 1937 since foreign players over 30 year-old couldn't be signed.[3]

In 1958 he represented a Chile national team that played two friendlies against the Austrian club First Vienna. Then, he took part of Chile squad in the 1959 South American Championship in Buenos Aires.[3] He made his official debut in a friendly match against Uruguay on 5 June 1960.[8]

Outside of coaching professional clubs, he worked for the Ministry of Sports of Chile and also coached youth teams.[12]
