Alfredo Stéfano Di Stéfano Laulhé was an Argentine and Spanish professional footballer and manager who played as a forward. Nicknamed "Saeta Rubia", he played in all five of Madrid's European Cup victories during the 1950s and 1960s. He played international football for Argentina and Colombia before becoming a naturalised citizen of Spain and playing for its national team. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time and the greatest Real Madrid player ever. He is currently the only player to win the Super Ballon d'Or — Wikipedia
