Alberto Luis Galateo (May 4, 1912 – February 26, 1961) was an Argentine football forward who played for Argentina in the 1934 FIFA World Cup.[1] He also played for Unión de Santa Fe.

Galateo played professionally for Club Atlético Huracán, Chacarita Juniors and Racing Club de Avellaneda from 1935 to 1939.[2]

Death

In February 1961, Galateo was killed by his son David José, in a family dispute. He wanted to kill his wife, so his son came in her defense, shooting him dead.[3] His grandson, Damián, produced a film (Terror Familiar) about these events.[2]
