: Naaa Henry, a pared/one-two is where you pass to a teammate, carry on running and said team mate passes it one touch back to you, like it was off a wall :o)

Well, it was sort of an "off-the-wall" answer on my part anyway! Could become popular, though.

: a "jugada de pared" is definitely a wall-pass in English so I disagree as well.

one-two
All depends whether you want UK or American English, but in Britain we call this a "one-two".
It involves playing a pass to a teammate before running on and receiving an immediate return pass from him/her. Forwards/strikers are usually involved in such moves as it allows them to make space ina and around the penalty box.
E.g. "Rooney played a neat one-two with Van Nistelrooy before slotting the ball home".

executor of wall-passes
We definitely use "wall-pass" in the US for a "jugada de pared". I've played soccer for 20 years of my life and that is the most prevalent expression I've heard. Since you asked for "realizador de jugadas de pared", I added the "executor of" for a more tailored answer to your query.
