Alberto Ferrero Gordiola (born 15 November 1944)[1] is a former Uruguayan naturalized Chilean professional football player. He was the topscorer of the 1969 Copa Libertadores with eight goals.
After having played for Peñarol in his home country,[2] he moved to Chile, where he stayed during the best period of his career. He joined the Santiago Wanderers and scored six goals in 13 games during the 1968 season. His best season at the local level was the 1969 National championship, during which he scored 18 goals in 35 games, being the second top goalscorer of the tournament behind Eladio Zárate (22 goals).
