Herminio Masantonio

Herminio Masantonio, Argentinian footballer (d. 1956)
Herminio Masantonio (5 August 1910 – 11 September 1956) was an Argentine football centre-forward. He played most of his career for Huracán and represented Argentina at international level.

Masantonio is one of Huracán's legends, being the all-time top scorer of the club. Besides, he is placed 3rd. in the list of Argentine Primera División top scorers with 253 goals in 358 matches. Despite those outstanding marks, Masantonio was never top scorer of an individual season. He didn't win any official title with Huracán, either.
