Ernesto "Ennis" Hayes (10 May 1896 – 6 February 1956) was an Argentine footballer who played as a forward. He played most of his career at Rosario Central, being also called for the Argentina national team. He is (alongside his brother Harry) the most decorated player in Rosario Central's history, with 20 titles, which include 5 AFA titles and 15 regional honours.[1][2]
Early and personal life
Hayes was born in
Club career
He began his club career with Rosario Central at the age of 16, in 1912.[3] A year later he had a brief spell with Club Embarcadero,[6] before returning to Rosario Central, where he remained until 1923, winning several titles. He had brief tenures on Gimnasia y Esgrima de Santa Fe and Tiro Federal before returning to Rosario Central, where he would retire in 1927.[2]
Hayes is credited with 134 goals in 167 games for Rosario Central,[3] ranking second among the all-time top scorers, after his brother Harry. Other statistics state Hayes scored 154 goals in 181 matches.[2]
Hayes retired from playing on 17 April 1927, against arch-rival Newell's Old Boys. Hayes also remained the second top scorer of the Rosario derby with 9 goals, after his brother Harry (24).[2]
International career
Hayes earned 11 caps for the Argentina national team between 1915 and 1918, scoring four goals, and winning five friendly titles.[2] He also played the 1916 and 1917 South American Championships.[7]
Playing style
A skilled player, Hayes played as left insider, sometimes as right insider because of his ability with both legs.[8] On the other hand, he had a conflictive character that brought him some problems. In 1917 Hayes was banned from playing in national competitions after punching a referee in a Copa de Honor MCBA match v Racing. Nevertheless, the punishment was revoked two years later, allowing him to return to competitions.[3] A new controversy came in a match v Club Argentino, when, after dribling all rival defenders and even the goalkeeper, he stopped and sat on the ball waiting for more rivals instead of scoring a goal.[9]
