Enrique Guaita

Guaita was one of twelve Argentine players to represent both Argentina (four caps, one goal) and Italy (ten caps, five goals) at national level, before banning the simultaneous playing for more than one national team. With Argentina, he won the 1937 South American Championship, and with the Italy national team, he scored the only goal in the semi-final match of the 1934 FIFA World Cup against Austria to give Italy a 1–0 title win on home soil. He also won the 1933–35 Central European International Cup with Italy.

Guaita played for Estudiantes de La Plata, where he was part of the famous attack Los Profesores. In 1934, he moved to Italy, where he probably played his best football. He played two seasons for AS Roma from 1933 to 1935. He was the top-scorer of the League in 1934–35, with 28 goals. He became known as Il Corsaro Nero. Fearing being drafted by the Italian army, in 1936, he returned to Argentina, where he played for Racing Club de Avellaneda and, again, Estudiantes de La Plata. He retired at the end of the 1939 season.
