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 -lrb- who also played as a fearless left defender in c.d. fas -rrb- and his `` baby '' sister -lrb- as cañitas always referred to her because of their large age difference -rrb- 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 -lrb- wife , two sons , a daughter and grand children -rrb- , was also attended by several of his c.d. fas teammates and by don jaime battle -lrb- ex-president of c.d. fas -rrb- .
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 ! ''
