Raimondo Orsi was one of the earliest of the Argentine greats. He was an outstanding left winger with great speed and control and a powerful shot. He had a second international career with Italy and he is remembered to this day as the man who hit a sensational equaliser for Italy in the World Cup Final of 1934 against Czechoslovakia. ‘Mummo’ as he was called, was the son of Italian immigrants, a factor that played a prominent role when he shifted his loyalties to Italy ‘Mumo’ was one of the scoring kings of the great 1930s Juventus side which won five titles in a row. Signed from Independiente, his dribbling and close control were amongst the best of the era. His 77 Serie A goals in 177 games did enough to have Italy officials checking up his ancestry and, despite 15 caps for Argentina, he was drafted into the Azzurri set-up for 35 games and 13 goals. His finest hour came in 1934 when, along with fellow South Americans Enrico Guaita and Luisito Monti, he helped Italy secure the World Cup on home soil. - Football Italia In the 1928 Olympic Games in Holland, the Italian national team is beaten in the semifinals by Argentina (3-2). The latter is then overcome in the final by the Uruguayan team, title holders and futures World Champions. Despite this defeat, there was an Argentinian player that unanimously was the best player of the tournament: we are talking of Raimundo Orsi. A winger of such grace, pace and dribling ability he illuminated all competition. Italians Juventus are the first ones to engage the player, nicknamed ''the Amsterdam Star'' since his performances in the Olympic Games. The club Directors did everything in their power to attain his services. Orsi was offered a dazzling salary for the era (8000 lire) and a Fiat with his personal driver for good measure. He accepted. Despite signing a contract in 1928, Orsi was not authorized to to play with the bianconeri during the 1928/1929 season. Since 1927, only foreign players having an Italian descent (called ''oriundi'') could participate in the Italian Championship. Once his oriundo background was established, Orsi could begin playing the following season (1929/1930). The Argentinian attacker quickly makes everyone forget the delay. As early as Juventus second game in the championship the crowd get to admire his phenomenal dribles. He registered his 15th goal at the end of his first Italian season and is voted the clubs best player. The following seasons he would only confirm his immense class as they took the crown away from Inter: again voted the teams best player in 1931 and 1932. He mesmerized the Italian public with his extraordinary technique that among other things allowed him to score directly from corner kicks. Not since the Hungarian Hirzer (1925-1927) had Juve had such gifted offensive player. His play alongside the talented Ferrari, Vecchina and Borel II tears defeses appart. They are unstoppable. Thanks to this potential incomparble offensiv, Juve remain irreproachable in championship between 1930 and 1935 as they won 5 consecutive titles. Orsis talent was so immense that the Italian National team coach Pozzo called upon him to play with Italy (as an oriundo, Orsi could play for Italy despite his Argentinan nationality). The Argentinian winger continued his success with Italy as they build up for their participation in the 1934 World Cup. As hosts, Italy end up winning the tournament after Orsi equalise the Czechoslovakie lead in the Final and then help create the winner for Schiavio in extra time. Orsi has a great tournament, scoring three goals in five games while also creating goals for his teammates. He leaves Juve in 1935 after seven seasons, and returns to play in South-America. The Bianconeri supporters will have to wait more then 20 years and the arrival of another Argentinian artist, Omar Sivori, to see a player as gifted as Orsi.
