*Club domestic league appearances and goals |
Domingo Alberto Tarasconi (20 December 1903 – 3 July 1991) was an Argentine football forward.[1] Raising from Club Atlético Atlanta, he played most of his career for Boca Juniors where he won 9 official titles and became the all-time 4th highest scorer in the club's history, behind Martín Palermo, Roberto Cherro, and Francisco Varallo.[2][3][4]
Apart from those achievements with the club, Tarasconi was Primera División topscorer on five occasions between 1922 and 1934, being also one of the all-time top scorers in the league, having scored 208 goals in 289 matches between 1921 and 1934.[5]
Tarasconi also played for the Argentina national football team, winning the silver medal and being topscorer of the Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam in 1928 with 11 goals in 4 matches. His outstanding performance in the competition still holds a record.[6] With Argentina, he also won two Copa América titles in 1925, and 1929.[7]
Tarasconi was also mentioned in the tango Patadura, released in 1928 and performed by legend Carlos Gardel.[8]
