Bobby Charlton said of him that pace was beside the point because the positioning was already right, and FIFA named him left back of the 1966 World Cup even though Argentina were sent home at Wembley in the quarter-final. Five Argentine championships with Boca Juniors between 1962 and 1970, 387 league games there, the 1969 Copa Argentina, two World Cups, and a place in the IFFHS all-time Argentina XI in 2021. Career record: 28 caps and 1 goals for Argentina; club career at Ferro Carril Oeste.
