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. — Wikipedia
