Amadeo Carrizo

Carrizo played for the Argentina national football team with significant success, especially against Brazil, but he also suffered a 6–1 defeat against Czechoslovakia, in the 1958 FIFA World Cup. In 1964 he won with Argentina the Taça das Nações, a tournament held in Brazil, featuring also England and Portugal, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian Football Confederation.

Carrizo made his debut in the Argentine First Division on 6 May 1945, playing for River Plate. The match was against Independiente, River Plate won 2–1. During his time at River Plate, he played alongside stars such as José Manuel Moreno, Félix Loustau, Adolfo Pedernera, Ángel Labruna, and the young Alfredo Di Stéfano. He won seven national Championship trophies in 1945, 1947, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956, and 1957. With River, he also won the Copa Aldao of 1945 and 1947 and the Copa Ibarguren of 1952, and reached the 1966 Copa Libertadores Finals, losing out after three matches against CA Peñarol of Uruguay. On 30 March 1967, Carrizo made his 500th appearance for River Plate in a Metropolitano championship match against San Lorenzo at the Estadio Gasómetro. In a league match against Atlético Vélez on 14 July 1968, the 42-year-old Carrizo simultaneously established two records for his time: most official matches for River Plate in the Argentine First Division (521) and longest run without conceding a single goal at 769 minutes, surpassing Antonio Roma's national record (741). This treak came to end in this very match, courtesy of a header from an 18-year-old Carlos Bianchi. He played his last match in the Argentine top-flight in 1968, becoming, at the age of 42 years and 7 months, one of the oldest players in the competition's history, currently sitting in fourth, only behind fellow goalkeepers Pedro Catalano (42 years and 10 months), Edgardo Andrada (43), and Hugo Gatti (44).
