Silvio Marzolini (4 October 1940 – 17 July 2020)[1][2] was an Argentine footballer who gained recognition during his tenure on Boca Juniors (1960–72). He is widely regarded as the best Argentine left-back of all time,[3][4] playing that position for the Argentina national team in the 1962 FIFA World Cup and the 1966 FIFA World Cup, where he was elected as the best left back of that tournament.[5] Marzolini played a total of 28 games for Argentina.
