Amadeo Raúl Carrizo Larretape (12 June 1926 – 20 March 2020), popularly known by his first name "Amadeo", was an Argentine

IFFHS ranked Carrizo as the best South American keeper of the 20th century in 1999.[4][5][6]

He was the first goalkeeper in Argentina to wear gloves, following an example by Italy's

Hugo Orlando Gatti, René Higuita, and José Luis Chilavert. Germany's Manuel Neuer is a more recent exponent of this style.[2]

He made his debut in the

Argentine First Division on 6 May 1945, playing for River Plate. The match was against Independiente, River Plate won 2–1.[2]

During his time at River Plate, he played alongside stars such as

CA Peñarol
of Uruguay.

He played for the Argentina national football team with significant success, especially against Brazil, but he also suffered a 6–1 defeat against Czechoslovakia, in the 1958 FIFA World Cup.[8] In 1964 he won with Argentina the Taça das Nações, a tournament held in Brazil, featuring also England and Portugal, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Brazilian Football Confederation.

In 1968, Carrizo simultaneously established two records for his time: official matches for River Plate in the

Argentine First Division
(521) and consecutive matches without conceding any goals (8, resp. 769 minutes).

In 1969 he reinforced two Peruvian teams in one match for each:

SC Corinthians Paulista
from Brazil.

In April 1969 he joined the Colombian team

Millonarios
where he ended his career as keeper in April 1970. His sometimes acrobatic saves earned him the moniker Tarzan from the local audience.

In 1973 Carrizo managed

Primera C. In 1973 he returned to Colombia, to manage first division team Once Caldas, from Manizales, then known as Cristal Caldas.[9]
