Pedro Ochoa

Pedro Ochoa, nicknamed Ochoíta, was an Argentine football forward, born on 22 February 1900 and died on 5 September 1947 in Tandil, Buenos Aires Province. He played his entire club career for Racing Club, debuting with the senior team at the age of 16 and soon becoming a fan favourite as a playmaker. With Racing he won six league championships, four national cups and two international cups, and he was known as El rey de la gambeta, the king of dribbling, for his skill with the ball. He was part of the Argentina squad at the 1928 Olympic games, where the team won the silver medal, although he did not play in any match, and he retired from football in 1931. His dribbling is also mentioned among notable footballers of those years in the tango Patadura, which Carlos Gardel admired.
