A violent soccer crack in the 30s: Bafici rarities

It sounds strange that a director dedicates his film, with all affection, to the memory of a parricidal uncle, but that is how it appears in the final credits of “Family Terror”, a documentary that the victim’s own grandson presented yesterday at Bafici. The grandson is Damián Galateo, and his grandfather was a star from the old days, Alberto Galateo, who between 1929 and 1943 scored goals for Argentina, Brazil and Italy, was a decisive figure for the National Team in the 1934 World Cup in Rome, shone in Colón, Unión, Huracán and other clubs, won 5 national titles and the fans even dedicated two songs to him. But he had a problem: when he drank he got violent. Thus he ended up in a second division club where he barely scored a measly goal. So he hung up his boots, went to work as a turner, definitely became an alcoholic, and instead of hitting the ball he started hitting the woman and the rest of the family. One day what sometimes happens happened, his eldest son came out with a 38 in defense of his mother.
