Alejandro Nicolás de los Santos (17 May 1902 – 16 February 1982) was an Argentine footballer who played as a forward for San Lorenzo, Dock Sud, El Porvenir, Huracán and Argentina.

Early life

[edit]

De los Santos was born in Paraná on 17 May 1902.[1] According to Argentine historian Francisco Sosa, who was interested in his family origins, he was not the son of a couple of runaway slaves from Angola, as is commonly believed, but rather the son of Argentines, being his father also born in Paraná and his mother born in Río Cuarto, Córdoba.[2] Per Sosa's research, De los Santos was a descendant of Africans who arrived in the Río de la Plata as a result of the slave trade.[2]

Career

[edit]

In 1921, de los Santos signed for San Lorenzo. On 22 May 1921, de los Santos made his debut for the club in a 2–0 win against Banfield.[3] After spells at Dock Sud and El Porvenir, de los Santos signed for Huracán in 1931, scoring 21 goals in 73 league appearances, making a total of 25 goals in 88 appearances in all competitions.[1][4]

In December 1925, de los Santos won the South American Championship with Argentina.[5] De los Santos was the first black footballer to appear for Argentina.[1][6]

In most accounts of Alexander's life, beginning with his biography written in 2015, it was stated that he was the son of a couple of runaway slaves from Angola, who had managed to escape by swimming along the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean until they reached a ship. When I looked up his birth certificate, however, I found that the information was incorrect. Alejandro's parents were Argentinian. This led me to continue searching for his ancestors in Paraná. That's how I found his marriage record, which showed that José Manuel, Alejandro's father, was born in Paraná, while Antonia, his mother, came from Río Cuarto (Córdoba).
