He started selling milk, he became proxy from the hand of Tomás Campuzanothey say he took out Manuel Díaz ‘El Cordobés’ With the undercover support of Manuel Benítez and was an entrepreneur of almost thirty places, including Córdoba, Jaén, Antequera, Valencia (Venezuela) and Algeciras. Paco Dorado, popularly known as ‘The Commander’, has died on Tuesday in Seville to his seventy -six years After a complication in your state of health.
The first bullfighter he represented went to Tomás Campuzano, with whom he reappeared relatively recently trying to organize celebrations for provinces places. Came to seize José María Manzanares, Rafael de PaulaJosé Luis Parada, Curro Durán, Javier Conde, José Luis Moreno, Chamaco, Manuel Díaz and Julio Benítez ‘El Cordobés’.
He was professionally introduced into the world of bulls during his military service, where he agreed with Francisco Rivera ‘Paquirri’ And he opened his eyes, although before that he had already tried his luck as ‘suitcase’ in tempting people in the area. In the years of the transition he became an attorney of Campuzano, by chance. This is how the bullfighter himself recalls: «I was in Gerena trying to locate a Aznalcóllar taxi driver To ask him how much it would cost me to take me to a bullfight that had come out in Sant Feliu de Guíxols. In those he saw me golden, who ended up offering me his car and with him we were the whole gang ». The one who started as a driver ended up being the key person in Gerena’s right -hander. Together they bullfighted in the teacher, of which he cut ears in ten.
The most prominent or remembered stage of Paco Dorado was with Manuel Díaz ‘El Cordobés’, which he seized, they say, with the financial aid of a Manuel Benítez that for those years he publicly denied his son. «My friend Juan Guardiola sent a bullfight to Higuera the Real To charge you. While in a town bar Manolo introduced me and told me that he wanted me to seize it and that I was going to get rich. His relief fell into grace and I ended up signing a contract in a napkin. It was the first and only document that we signed, ”said Dorado a few years ago in a colloquium in La Maestranza.
The ‘Commander’ always had the desire to put the ‘Cordoba’ together in a bullring, although Manuel Benítez asked “not to go.” It was in Palma de Mallorca where Paco Dorado wanted to assemble that media run, although the Palma del Río asked him «11 million pesetas and a thousand and one pegas». After involving Antonio Asensio to Antena 3 televised the run, Benítez reculled and finally dealt with Manuel Díaz alone.
Among many others, Paco Dorado organized that run of Pepe Luis Vázquez farewell in Utrera next to Morante de la Puebla. This summer he wanted to reappear in some villages, although neither the economy nor health allowed him to fulfill his desire. Rest in peace.
