The rare gem is called Hugo Orlando Gatti. He is a former Argentinian international, who played as a goalkeeper, now aged 80. Selected 18 times with Argentina, between 1966 and 1977, he is particularly famous for being the player who played the greatest number of matches (765) in his domestic championship and having saved the greatest number of penalties.
