Playing career
Early career
While studying in secondary school, Parra was with both Industrial Football Club from Chillán (1906) and the team of Escuela de Artes y Oficios[es] (1907) from Santiago.[1]
In Chile
In 1908, Parra joined Gimnástico Football Club[es] of the Asociación de Football de Santiago,[2] winning the Copa Unión (First Division) three times: 1909, 1910, 1912[es].[3][4] In addition, he played for the Santiago team in intercity matches versus the Valparaíso team in 1910[5] and 1911.[2]
In Brazil
In 1914, Parra joined America-RJ after having played with the Chile national team in Rio de Janeiro the year before, becoming the first Chilean footballer to play abroad.[2] In 1915, he moved to Flamengo, becoming the second foreign player in the club after the English Lawrence Selton Andrews, who was one of the club founders from Fluminense[6] and the first Chilean to play for Flamengo.[7] He made eleven total appearances and won the 1915 Campeonato Carioca, the second title for the club. The Brazilian press described him as a centre-half-back, an older version of the sweeper position.[1]
In addition, he could have played for the Rio de Janeiro team versus both Italy and Exeter City, according to the Chilean journalist Edgardo Marín[es].[2]
International
In September 1913, the Chile national team went to Brazil with Parra as a left-back and the team captain, with the support of Federación Sportiva Nacional[es] (FSN), one of the two football federations of Chile at that time.[1] Chile played several matches in both Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. In Rio de Janeiro Chile faced the team of Escola de Guerra e Marinha[pt] (War and Navy School) (loss), a team of Brazilian students (loss), two Carioca squads (1–2 and 0–6 losses) and America-RJ (3–2 win). In São Paulo Chile faced two Paulista squads (2–1 and 3–1 wins) and Americano FC (3–3 draw).[2]
Coaching career
He coached Chile in the 1919 South American Championship,[8] losing the three matches: 0-6 versus Brazil,[9] 0-2 versus Uruguay,[10] 1-4 versus Argentina.[11] Despite he made no appearances, he was actually part of the squad as a player too.[2]
Personal life
Parra was born in Chillán and his parents were Juan de Dios Parra Gutiérrez, a merchant farmer, and Ana María Cancino, a housewife.[12][13]
In the 1940s, he worked as Consul of Chile in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[14]
According to the members of the artistic collective Las Parrunas, whose surname is Parra and that investigate their family tree,[15] Héctor Parra was the grandfather of the founders of the prolific Chilean music band Los Jaivas: Eduardo, Claudio and Gabriel Parra.[14] So, his descendants are mainly inclined towards arts and music.
