He is tied with Arsenio Erico as the all-time highest goalscorers in the Argentine first division. He was part of the celebrated River Plate striker, nicknamed ''La Máquina'' (The Machine), and he was considered one of the best South-American footballers of all time. He started in River Plate on June 18, 1939 and played there for 20 years in the top league in his country. Won nine championships in the Argentina Tournament (1941, 1942, 1945, 1947, 1952, 1953, 1955, 1956 y 1957) having the distinction of being top scorer twice (1943 with 23 goals and 1945 with 25) He was part of his club's legendary team along with: Juan Carlos Muñoz José Manuel Moreno, Adolfo Pedernera, and Félix Loustau, where he played as inner-left forward. Labruna holds a number of records for River Plate, including his record 16 goals in the Superclásico derby with fierce rivals Boca Juniors. In 1959 Labruna left River Plate having defended their colors in 515 matches, scoring 293 goals making him the all-time highest goalscorer in the Argentine first division along with Arsenio Erico. He later played two seasons in the Chilean Rangers, and Uruguay's Rampla Juniors in Montevideo and Platense in Argentina, to retire when he was 43 years old. Labruna played 37 matches for the Argentina National Team (scoring 17 goals). Won one Copa América (1955) and as a 40-year old he played in the final phase of World Cup in 1958 in Sweden. Labruna was an inside-left and play with “Total Footbal” style of play. Accordingly, There are no target striker in this system. He always operated his game in deep-lying forward line, was noted for his agility, acceleration and finishing. He was the only player from “La Maquina” ever played in World Cup final. Nonetheless, He had already 39 close to 40 year olds and wasn’t a dangerous forward any longer in that tournament. Labruna’s longevity was incredible as he retired from professional career at 43 year olds of age. Same as other greats of his generation he could not participate in other World Cups due to the event's suspension during World War II and later for his country's decision of not competing in the cups in Brazil and Switzerland. *** *Top goalscorer of the classic River-Boca (16 goals). *Top goalscorer of the Argentine Soccer (293 goals). *Player of the longest football history with 28 years of playing in first division. *He participated in more than a thousand games (counting both official and friendly games). *As a coach he was an architect of the double title that River won in 1975, after 18 years of frustration. *Every time I entered the field Angelito game Bombonera, put his hand to the nose and pressed, direct allusion to the bad smell that was to be in ''bostero territory.''
