'''Luis Arturo Hernández Carreón''' (born football Mexican national football team, and their highest goalscorer in World Cups.

Known for his long blond hair, number 15 jersey and nickname of ''El Matador,'' Hernández gained notability during the Copa América 1997, where he scored six goals and became the tournament's leading goal scorer. At the 1998 FIFA World Cup, he finished among the competition's top scorers with four goals, and became the first Mexican player to score more than two goals in World Cup history. The 35 goals (in 90 caps) he scored for Mexico tie him with Carlos Hermosillo and trail only Jared Borgetti as the nation's all-time leading goalscorer. Hernández also played in the 2002 FIFA World Cup, albeit as a substitute, and failed to score.

In Mexico, Hernández played with a number of clubs, including Cruz Azul, CF Monterrey, Necaxa, Club América, UANL Tigres, CD Veracruz, and Jaguares de Chiapas, and was twice named Mexico's Player of the Year in 1997 and 1998. He also played in Argentina, when he was signed by South American club Boca Juniors after his brilliant performance in the 1997 Copa America, but he failed to break into the starting line-up and spent the rest of his time on the bench. Returning to Mexico bitterly disappointed, he played with Necaxa and later on with UANL Tigres. It was with these two clubs, that he displayed his stupendous form, scoring 9 goals in 12 matches with Necaxa and 38 goals in 64 games with Tigres. He also became the first and only player to score goals in the Clásico Regiomontano with both teams from Monterrey.

After a few seasons with Tigres without qualifying to playoffs, Hernández ventured into the United States, in 2000 and signed with Major League Soccer giants Los Angeles Galaxy, thought they landed a coup when they paid the Mexican striker a reported sum of US$ 4,000,000.00  to play with the club. Expected to easily tear the league apart, Hernández was generally considered a disappointment in two seasons with the Los Angeles club. Despite registering 17 goals in 40 regular season and playoff games, the desired rise of attendance was not seen at all. Hernández returned to Mexico in 2002 to play two more seasons with several clubs, including Club América, C.D. Veracruz and Jaguares de Chiapas, before retiring in 2004.
