About Jorge Cañas
- Jorge Joaquín Cañas Cerna was a Salvadoran football player.
- Throughout his career he had various nicknames: El Cuto, La Flecha and Cañitas. Jorge Cañas was the son of Amanda Cañas Cerna and Jorge Alberto Cañas Andrade.
- His younger siblings are: his brother Carlos Ernesto Cañas Cerna (who also played as a fearless left defender in C.D.
- FAS) and his baby sister (as Cañitas always referred to her because of their large age difference) Elizabeth Nájera Cañas. Cañitas was beloved by fans, teammates and the team management.
- A testament to this was seen at the religious mass on the 10th anniversary of his death, which in addition to his mother, brother, sister and surviving family (wife, two sons, a daughter and grand children), was also attended by several of his C.D.
- FAS teammates and by Don Jaime Battle (ex-president of C.D.
- Fas).Although Cañitas and his younger brother, nicknamed El Burro, played together at C.D.
- FAS in 1972, they also often found each other in opposing teams. A common anecdote between the brothers came from a match where they played for opposing teams and where they were matched up against each other.
- El Burro was playing at C.D.
- FAS and Cañitas at Sonsonate.
- Sonsonate had a green uniform, with green socks.
- The brothers joked in later years about facing each other in that match, where El Burro played a very rough game against his older sibling.
- After the match, when they arrived at their common home, Cañitas confronted his younger brother about his rough play during the match, to which El Burro responded: Hey, all I saw were the green socks!
