    Nod Greatest player to ever pull on the Colombian shirt and he wasn't even Colombian. Bow </h2> <div class=

    In fairness his whole international career was muddled - Argentina, Colombia, big gap then a period for Spain.

    Bow R.I.P. Don Alfredo. Better than Pelé or Diego? Possibly.


    Strong case that he was Argentina's greatest ever player...

    An excuse for me to watch the Real Madrid v Frankfurt 1960 EC Final 7-3 DVD Bow

    I remember watching it with my great grand son

    Di Stefano and Puskas were unstoppable
