The World Cup Champion with Argentina Who Passed Away at 77 years

Luis Galvan has passed away at the age of 77, a true legend of Argentine football who left his mark both on the national team and in the hearts of Talleres de Cordoba supporters. A key figure in Argentina's 1978 World Cup-winning squad, Galvan was known for his strength, composure, and leadership in defence.

His performance in the final against the Netherlands was so outstanding that several international media outlets rated him 10 out of 10, alongside Mario Kempes, the match's star. It was no fluke — Galvan's presence at the back was crucial in one of the most glorious moments in Argentina's football history.

An undisputed idol at Talleres, where he spent a large part of his career, Galvan earned the respect of fans across the country for his humility, dedication, and passion for the shirt. His passing leaves a deep void, but also the eternal memory of a champion who gave everything for the light blue and white.
