Antonio Rattín
Antonio Rattín is a former Argentine footballer known for his role as a central midfielder and for his significant contributions to the Argentina national team during the 1962 and 1966 FIFA World Cups. His career is particularly remembered for the controversial quarter-final match against England in 1966, where he was infamously expelled by the referee after a series of protests. This incident, which included Rattín sitting on the royal carpet in the absence of the Queen, remains a notable moment in World Cup history. Over his career, Rattín won numerous titles with Boca Juniors and was part of the squad that unexpectedly triumphed in the Copa de las Naciones in 1964.
