A goalkeeper of the Buenos Aires professional team Almagro, Claudio Tamburrini was a footballer unlike the others in the Argentina of the military junta

In 1977, he was a philosophy student at the university and a campaigner in left-wing associations. A few months before the start of the 1978 World Cup, he was arrested, arbitrarily detained and tortured for 120 days in the Mansión Seré, an air-force-run concentration camp. He managed to escape a few weeks before the World Cup, and went into hiding for several months. Before fleeing to Sweden, where he has been spending the rest of his life to date, Tamburrini celebrated, along with his fellow Argentines, the victory of their World Cup Final selection.
