Argentina's 1978 World Cup-winning midfielder has passed away from cancer, aged 64.
Pretty good player, as I recall - and regarded in his homeland as one of the best of all time. The young Houseman scored three times in W Germany 1974 and managed a further goal (the fifth of six) in 'that' match against Peru four years later.
César Luis Menotti spoke of him as a combination of 'Maradona and Garrincha', apparently.
