Babington | Carlos Alberto Babington

Nació el 20 de septiembre de 1949 en el Hospital Rawson Capital Federal. Hijo de Ernesto José y de Isabel Aurelia Vega se crió y vivió en Cortejarena 3353.
Carlos era un chico del barrio jugó en Juventus, un club de barrio, estuvo también en la 9º división de River donde coincidió con Zorzenón como preparador físico y Carlitos Peucelle como técnico. Según sus propias palabras dejó River porque el por entonces técnico Peucelle le dijo que debía mejorar físicamente y Carlos decidió cambiar de aires y jugar en los babys que se realizaban en Huracán, donde finalmente se hizo futbolista.
Ingresó en la sexta división de Huracán y en el año 1967 dio el salto a la tercera. En 1968 integró la primera de Huracán en la gira que hizo el conjunto argentino por Europa. Le decían el inglés por su pelo rubio y es que su abuelo era irlandés y curiosamente durante la citada gira el Arsenal inglés quiso hacerse con sus servicios.
Su debut con la camiseta de Huracán se produjo en 1969 "El inglés" Babington se destapó como un exquisito volante ofensivo y portó con talento y talante la camiseta número diez de Globo (Huracán).
En las filas de aquel Huracán dirigido por Menotti, Babington compartió equipo con otros jugadores de la talla de Brindisi, Houseman, Omar Larrosa, Roque Avallay y “Fatiga” Russo, entre otros. Un equipo que conquistó brillantemente y haciendo un fútbol de pura seda el Metropiltano de 1973. Aquel año los "quemeros" vibraron con el señorial empeine zurdo del Inglés, con sus tiros libres, sus perfectos cambios de juego y sus pases milimétricos.
El conjunto integrado por Buglione, Chabay, Russo, Basile, Roganti, Carrascosa, Houseman, Brindisi, Avallay, Babington y Larrosa quedó grabado a fuego en la memoria histórica de los aficonados argentinos y supuso el inicio de la brillante carrera de Menotti como técnico.
En 1974 fue traspasado al conjunto alemán del Wattenscheid 09, un año en el que acabó en la tercera posición al mejor jugador Sudamericano del año tras Elías Figueroa y Marinho.
En las filas del conjunto alemán jugó por espacio de cuatro temporadas acumulando 120 partidos y anotando 46 goles.
Con la Selección argentina estuvo presente en el Mundial de Alemania de 1974, donde disputó 5 partidos y convirtió un gol, en el partido que Polonia venció a Argentina por 3 a 2 marcó el descuento a los 22 minutos de la segunda parte.
En 1979 regresó a Argentina para jugar en el equipo de su vida: Huracán en el que siguió dando tardes de gloria y fútbol junto a su amigo y no menos gran futbolista Miguel Brindisi.
En 1982 y a la edad de 33 años colgó las botas portando la camisa 10 de Huracán.
A su retirada se dedicó a ejercer como técnico dirigendo entre otros a León de México, River Plate, Racing, Banfield, Platense y HURACÁN, donde se convirtió en el único protagonista de las tres máximas conquistas del Globo en la era profesional: integró el plantel campeón de 1973 y fue el director técnico de las dos vueltas a Primera División, sacando campeón al equipo en los torneos de la B Nacional 89/90 y 99/00.

Características

Babington era un volante ofensivo de 1,75 m. de altura y 73 k. de peso que se caracterizaba por jugar al toque, por su exuqisita creatividad y por su excelente y potente disparo.

Last week, German soccer magazine "11Freunde" published an interview with Babington. In this interview he talks about his career and especially about his time at Wattenscheid 09. IMO very interesting to read ;)

Thanks, too bad I don't read German...I wonder why he choose the German second division when he was at the peak of his career...

Here you go, I translated the part where he speaks about his move:
Spoiler: show
Carlos Babington, why did you move to second German division club Wattenscheid 09 after the 1974 World Cup?
I was young and I absolutely wanted to go to Eurooe. In 1973 we had won the Championship with Cesar Menotti as coach and after that I should have moved to Stoke City. But as I couldn't find the birth certificate of my English grandfather, this wasn't possible. Inter also wanted to sign me, but at this time only foreign players with Italian ancestry were allowed to play in Italy.

So: Wattenscheid instead of Mailand?
Yes, one day a Spanish agent appeared with a bag full of money and explained to me, that Wattenscheid was a second division club with ambitions. Regarding the sporting perspective it was probably the wrong decision because I was voted 9th best player of the World Cup. But Klaus Steilmann had watched me there and absolutely wanted to sign me. It is like that with billionaires.

Steilmann was a businessman in the textile industry and patron. What was your impression of him?
Although he had a soft spot for me, we also often argued. In his opinion I should have worked at his company like all the other players. Because of that we always could start training after closing time and I found that nonprofessional.

And the part why he didn't play 1978 World Cup:
Spoiler: show
But Wattenscheid 09 failed in being promoted to first German league, also in your third and your fourth year.
Yes that's right. Especially in my last season I had lost my motivation. Steilmann was an extraordinary person but he also was very stubborn. The only thing I blame him for is denying my move to River Plate after three years. They wanted to sign me but Steilmann said that my contract required me to play one more season and didn't let me go. He believed that we could be promoted but that looked rather unlikely to me.

Did this prevent your participation in the 1978 World Cup in Argentina?
Yes. Cesar Menotti came to Germany to see me and said to me: „I'd like to have you in the team but you have to move to Argentina. The only player in our squad that doesn't play in Argentina will be Mario Kempes. Menotti also talked with Steilmann but he chose the worst argument to convince him. He explained to him that I could raise my market value if I was allowed to return to Argentina. But Steilmann didn't care about money, he was a billionaire after all. „Contracts are made to be fulfilled“ he replied. And that was it.

No problem :)
Btw, the most hilarious part of the interview (where Babington speaks about typical German things that surprised him):
What did you like most about Germany?
It's a very serious country. If I haven't had my family, I would have liked to stay. In Germany I experienced how life should be: respectful, sorted, nobody steps out of line, everything is planned and thought-out. I like that more than the permanent improvising and chaos that you have to face in Buenos Aires. Although the Germans sometimes tend to overdo with organization.

What do you mean?
Once we were returning from a game with a bus when suddenly the driver stopped at the roadside. I was a bit afraid because we stopped in the middle of a snow storm. But the only problem was that the driver refused to continue driving. He was hired only for driving at daylight. So we had to wait two hours until the other driver arrived. When everything is planned perfectly, there is no place for improvising. In Argentina one of us simply would have taken the wheel. And the others would have killed the driver!
:lol:
