Pedro Calomino


Pedro Bleo Fournol, known as Calomino, was famed for his dribbling. Calomino played for Boca Juniors from 1911- 1924 (except for the season 1914, which he spent with Hispano).  He was top-scorer in 6 seasons (1913, 1915, 1916, 1917, 1918, 1919) and won 4 championships (1919, 1920, 1923, 1924). On the international scene he represented Argentina 37 times, appearing at 4 South American championships, captaining his side to victory in Buenos Aires in 1921.
It is sometimes claimed he originated the bicycle kick.
