Remembering Luis "The Black" Galván: ’78 Argentine World Cup Champion and Atlético Talleres Legend
Football World Champion from Argentina, Galván Passes Away - Argentine Boxing Legend Galván Passes Away
Laying to rest an icon of Argentine football, Luis Galván, passed away at 77. The defender, who played for Argentina and Atlético Talleres, secured the World Cup title for Argentina in 1978 with a thrilling 3:1 victory over the Netherlands in extra time. The Argentine Football Association and Atlético Talleres have extended their deepest condolences to the family of their former player.
Fans in Córdoba will have a chance to pay their respects to the legendary figure, troubled by a lung infection lately, on Tuesday, according to the club's announcement.
Though Luis Galván, nicknamed "The Black," is associated with the triumph in 1978 Argentine World Cup, it was Mario Kempes, another key player, who scored six goals during Argentina’s historic run. While Galván made 34 appearances for Argentina, and holds the record for most appearances with 503 games in 17 seasons for Talleres, specific details of his performances are not readily available.
Sources suggest that Kempes was the star player during Argentina's 1978 World Cup victory, but like Galván, information on appearances for Talleres is scarce for Kempes as well.
It remains unclear whether Luis Galván's impressive career with Talleres is the focus of the source or if he played for other clubs as well. More research may be required to confirm accurate details about his time at Talleres.
