Argentine "full-time" 1978 World Cup-winning defender Luis Adolfo Galván died Monday at the age of 77 due to bilateral pneumonia and kidney failure, just one year after that team's coach, César Luis Menotti. Since Menotti chose to number them in alphabetical order, Luis Galván donned the "7" jersey. He was in the starting lineup for all seven of Argentina's matches and was never substituted throughout the tournament, a record he shared only with Ubaldo Fillol (Goalkeeper - #5), Daniel Passarella (Defender, captain, #19), Alberto Tarantini (Defender, #20), and Mario Kempes (Forward, top scorer, #10).
