Osvaldo Ardiles

Legendary Argentinian Football Coach & 1978 World Cup Winner

Osvaldo Ardiles became a cult hero in England as a player for Tottenham Hotspur. As manager of Tottenham in the mid-1990s, he famously played several matches utilizing a formation that had five forwards, a formation that hadn't been used in English football since the 1950s, which "Ossie" (or "Pitón", as he is affectively known in his native country) mainly used because of Tottenham's perceived defensive weakness.

In 2008 Ossie was inducted into the Tottenham Hotspur Hall of Fame
