[2][3][4] Apart from those achievements with the club, Tarasconi was Primera División topscorer on five occasions between 1922 and 1934, being also one of the all-time top scorers in the league, having scored 208 goals in 289 matches between 1921 and 1934.

[5] Tarasconi also played for the Argentina national football team, winning the silver medal and being topscorer of the Summer Olympics held in Amsterdam in 1928 with 11 goals in 4 matches.

In 1935 Tarasconi moved to Sportivo Barracas, finishing his career in Argentinos Juniors, where he played 8 matches in the 1936 season before retiring from the activity.

Other notable footballers of those times mentioned in the song are Manuel Seoane, Luis Monti, Pedro Ochoa (who was also friend of Gardel, who composed the tango Ochoíta in his honor).

Gardel then recorded a new version of Patadura in 1929 in Paris, where the lyrics where slightly changed replacing the original Argentine men's footballers by players of FC Barcelona (Vicente Piera, Ricardo Zamora, Josep Samitier, Franz Platko) with whom Gardel had established a friendship[8] (especially with Samitier)[15] as part of becoming a fan of the team.
