ntupdate =Ramón Quiroga Arancibia (born
23 July 1950 inRosario ,Argentina ) was an Argentine-born Peruvian international football goalkeeper, who was nicknamed "El Loco" in Peru and "Chupete" in Argentina. He obtained 40 caps playing for thePeru national football team . He began his career playing for the Argentine clubRosario Central . He is currently a youth coach for the Peruvian clubCienciano .Quiroga is perhaps best remembered for his appearance at the
1978 FIFA World Cup in a match againstPoland , when he ran all the way to the opposition half and fouledGrzegorz Lato , receiving ayellow card in the process. In that tournament, he also conceded 6 goals in the match against Argentina, his birth country. As a result of this, Argentina advanced to the final over Brazil, leading to some of accusing the teams of collusion, which both teams denied. However, a cursory viewing of the game supports Quiroga's assertions that without him, Argentina would have scored more.External links
