Merecidísimo homenaje al gran goleador de Boca Juniors y único sobreviviente del Mundial de 1930. Más allá de los apodos que forjó durante su carrera: “el cañoncito platense”, “el goleador xeneixe”, Varallo fue y es, como lo definiera un ex-presidente de Gimnasia, “aquel pibe de barrio, humilde, generoso, sencillo, amigo de todos”. Este libro relata su infancia, la época escolar, sus inicios en el fútbol platense, el título con Gimnasia y Esgrima, la participación en el Mundial 1930, la gira con Velez, su ingreso a Boca y su etapa de goleador con los xeneixes y las actividades como técnico, posteriores a su retiro. Además curiosidades, leyendas y conceptos de periodistas, los goles en Boca detallados uno por uno, tangos y poemas y la declaración de Ciudadano Ilustre de la Pcia. de Buenos Aires.

Deserved tribute to the great goal scorer of Boca Juniors and unique survival of the 1930 World Cup. Far from the nicknames he was given throughout his career: “the cañoncito platense”, “the xeneixe goal scorer”, Varallo was and still is, as defined by a former President of Gimnasia: “that boy who was raised in the neighbourhood, humble, generous, simple, friend of everybody”. This book tells his childhood story, school times, his beginnings in football, the cup with Gimnasia y Esgrima, his participation in the 1930 World Cup, the tour with Vélez Sársfield, his participation in Boca and his times as goal scorer with the xeneizes and his activities as coach, when retired. You may also find curiosities, legends and concepts from journalists, his goals scored in Boca, detailed one by one, tangos and poems and his appointment as Distinguished Citizen of the Buenos Aires Province.
