Amac9 2,060 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 A player that seems to have been forgotten for some reason. But what a striker he was!I remember watching him in Serie A playing for Fiorentina and Roma and thinking to myself how someone could hit a ball so fucking hard! I don't think I have ever seen another striker who could hit the ball with such power and accuracy.His goalscoring record was outstanding for club and country. I don't know if these are 100% spot on but according to Wikipedia his stats are;1988-1989 - Newell's Old Boys; 16 appearances, 9 goals1989-1990 - River Plate; 7 appearances, 5 goals1990-1991 - Boca Juniors; 29 appearances, 23 goals1991-2000 - Fiorentina; 269 appearances, 168 goals2000-2003 - Roma; 60 appearances, 30 goals2003 - Inter Milan (Loan); 12 appearances, 2 goals2003-2005 - Al Arabi; 21 appearances, 29 goals1991-2002 - Argentina; 88 appearances, 66 goalsWhat a record that is and what a player!
