Eguren arrived at Hammarby from Norwegian club Rosenborg B.K., on loan during
the later part of the 2006 season. On December 5, 2006, Hammarby announced that
Eguren had signed a three-year-contract to 2009 with the club. In Hammarby, he
became very quickly one of the most popular players because of his
fighting
spirit.
Eguren tested positive for cocaine after a match in the Copa Libertadores, on
February 12, 2004, being suspended from football for six months.
He blamed the
coca tea which is widely drunk in the Andean countries (as a medicine which
alleviates the effects of altitude), and he
got the shortest suspension for this
kind of cases (this specific match was played at 2,800 meters above sea level,
in Quito).
On February 8, 2006, it was revealed in a shocking newsrelease, that a
transfer of two Uruguayans (Eguren and Alejandro Lago) to SK Brann was
cancelled,
due to "psychological reasons."
On January 30, 2008, Eguren was loaned to Villarreal CF of La Liga [1] until
May 2008.
After a period of adjustment, he became Marcos Senna's partner as a
central midfielder.
These are a few of my favourite things.
