José Salomón (9 July 1916 in La Plata – 22 January 1990) was an Argentine football defender who played club football for Talleres de Remedios de Escalada and Racing Club de Avellaneda and captained the Argentina national football team.[1]
Salomón started his career in 1934 with Talleres before moving to Avellaneda to play for Racing Club between 1939 and 1945.
Salomón played a total of 44 games for Argentina[2] including 21 in the Copa América a national record he shares with Oscar Ruggeri. Salomón was part of two Copa América winning teams but his career was ended in the 1946 edition of the competition by a Jair Rosa Pinto tackle which broke his tibia and fibula sparking a riot and pitch invasion and fueling the Argentina and Brazil football rivalry.[3]
