They called him doble ancho in Buenos Aires, double wide for the ground he ate in front of the defence, and on 30 July 1930 he lost the first World Cup final at the Centenario to Uruguay.

Career record: 16 caps and 5 goals for Argentina; club career at Club Atlético Huracán, San Lorenzo de Almagro, Juventus.
