Enrique García (20 November 1912 – 23 August 1969) was an Argentine footballer. Nicknamed Chueco, or El Poeta de la Zurda ("the poet of the left leg", due to his skills for football), is regarded as the best Argentine left winger ever. García had a long tenure in Racing Club de Avellaneda, where he played 234 matches in 9 years of career with the club, although the team did not win any title. Due to his extraordinary dribbling ability, García became an idol of Racing Club, being acclaimed even by his rivals. He also had a successful run in the Argentina national team, winning the Copa América on two occasions. Out of García's 78 goals scored in his career, only two were scored with his right leg. Biography García was born on 20 November 1912 in the city of Santa Fe. He started playing football at local Club Las Rosas. His brother Salvador played in the Unión de Santa Fe reserve team and brought him to the club for a try, but he was not chosen. In 1929 García moved to Club Brown, where he debuted v Unión, scoring the only goal for a 1–0 win. In 1932, Gimnasia y Esgrima hired García (who was 19 yo) for m$n 2,500. In Gimnasia, García won the Santa Fe regional championship, being part of a forward line nicknamed los pistoleros ("the gunmen") due to their high goal average. A journalist of El Litoral (local newspaper) nicknamed him "Chueco", which would be his most famous moniker. One year later, García was traded to Rosario Central for $5,000. The Rosarian team was still playing in regional tournaments, but García became an idol of the club and gained recognition not only in the city but in the whole country. García played near 100 matches with Rosario Central. It was said that Ernesto "Che" Guevara became a fan of Rosario Central after being impressed by García's style of play. Writer Osvaldo Bayer was also an admirer of García. In spite of the interest from Independiente to bring García to the club, arch rival Racing was the club which signed García in 1936 for $39.000 and all the profits from a friendly match between both clubs. Apart from García, Racing hired Alejandro Scopelli and Enrique Guaita and goalkeeper Angel Capuano (all of them, returning from Italy). García made his debut for a porteño team in May 1936.
