INFO:
José Canteli is a former inside right. Born in San José del Rincón, Santa Fe (31/05/1917), Canteli started playing for amateur team Gimnasia y Esgrima (SF). Aged 23, Canteli was sold to Newell's Old Boys for a $22.000 fee, which was highly unusual for his time and team. Canteli made an immediate impact on the leper, finishing top scorer of the Argentine First Division in 1941, scoring 31 goals in 30 games. At Newell's Old Boys, he played 76 games and scored 60 goals, thus remaining in the history of Newell's Old Boys as one of the top scorers in the club's history. On April 4th, 1943, Canteli would be called up to the Argentinian National Team, making his debut against Uruguay and scoring a goal. Despite his good debut, he was never called up to the national team again. At the end of 1943, he moved to Platense, where he played 5 years and scored 37 goals in 75 games leaving a big mark on the team. He then went to Colón in 1948, which was in the second division at the time. In Colón, Canteli broke several records, including finishing as the all-time top scorer in official matches in the Santa Fe Derby with 8 goals (still in effect) and also becoming the top scorer in the club's history, with 103 goals (a record later broken by Esteban Fuertes in 2009). It is also important to highlight his match in the final of the 1950 Copa de Honor, in which Colón obtained their first official title, beating in the final their eternal rivals, Unión de Santa Fe, by an aggregate of 4 to 2 with two goals from Canteli.

Newell's Old Boys (1940-1943) - 76 games, 60 goals
C.A. Platense (1943-1948) - 75 games, 37 goals
C.A. Colón (1948-1952) - 122 games, 103 goals
