My Take

Franco Costanzo is my favourite kind of footballer, the one who refuses to stay in his box. A tall Argentine goalkeeper from Río Cuarto, he earned a reputation as an eccentric, dribbling past onrushing strikers and pulling off unorthodox saves in the position that usually demands the most caution. I love that. The goalmouth is where managers beg for safety, and here was a keeper treating it as a stage for risk and personality. It is a very Argentine kind of joy. He plied his trade as far afield as Chile's Universidad Católica, and I would have loved to watch his improvisations live.

Overview

Franco Costanzo Geymonat (born 5 September 1980) is an Argentine former football goalkeeper who last played for Chilean club Universidad Católica of the Primera División. He has earned the reputation of being an eccentric goalkeeper by often dribbling the ball past the opposition's strikers and by making somewhat unorthodox saves.
