He was a member of Argentina's squad at the inaugural FIFA World Cup in 1930. During his career, Varallo won three leagues titles with Boca Juniors, and with 181 goals, is the club's second highest all-time leading goalscorer in the professional era.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.buenosairesherald.com/BreakingNews/View/43703 )〕 Varallo died in his home-town of La Plata on , at the age of 100, as the last surviving player from the 1930 World Cup. ==Early years== Varallo was born in La Plata (Buenos Aires Province, Argentina), on 5 February 1910. He made his debut at the age of 14, and early in his career gained the nickname ''cañoncito'' (in English: "little cannon") for his shooting ability.〔 At the age of 18, Varallo had a trial with Estudiantes de La Plata, scoring eleven goals in three games for the club. However, the board of the club where Varallo was a youth team player were supporters of Estudiantes' town rivals Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata, and therefore denied him the opportunity to join Estudiantes. Varallo ultimately joined Gimnasia, making his debut for the club's reserve side, before making his debut for the first team in 1929.〔 During his first season with Gimnasia, Varallo won the amateur league championship with the club, defeating Boca Juniors in the final. In 1930, the forward was loaned for free by Gimnasia to Vélez Sársfield to play for the team during their Pan-American tour. He totaled 16 goals during the tour.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francisco Varallo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
