About Eulogio Martínez
Eulogio Ramiro Martínez (11 June 1935 – 30 September 1984) was a Paraguayan-born footballer who played as a striker. He played for the Spanish side Barcelona in the 1950s and 1960s, and is remembered for being a prolific striker with an excellent finishing ability. He was reputed to be the creator of the "Martinez Turn", which can be seen on Movietone footage of Barcelona's quarter-final match against Wolves in the 1959–60 European Cup. This move later received worldwide acclaim as the "Cruyff Turn" and although Johan Cruyff was at Barcelona when he demonstrated it in the 1974 World Cup, Martinez has never received any credit despite using it at least 14 years earlier. Martínez also became part of Barcelona's history by scoring the first goal ever at their current stadium, the Camp Nou, on 24 September 1957. Hampered by being overweight, he left Barcelona in 1962, having scored 111 goals in 162 official matches. For Paraguay he had 9 caps and 4 goals.
