Mario Boye was an Argentine footballer. A powerful winger or striker, he played for Boca Juniors,
Racing Club de Avellaneda and Huracan in Argentina, Genoa in Italy and Millonarios in Colombia.
Nicknamed El Atomico (The Atomic One), he started playing in the youth division of Boca Juniors
to debut in first division on 8 June 1941. With Boca he won the 1943 and 1944 Argentine leagues,
and was the league's top-scorer in 1946 with 24 goals. He moved to Italy where he became
"Il Matadore" (The Killer), but returned to Argentina four seasons later. After winning the 1951
league with Racing and playing one season for Huracan, he returned to Boca to retire a year later.
He played 228 matches for Boca in all competitions, scoring 124 goals. He was the top scorer in the
Copa del Atlántico 1947 with 5 goals, a non-CONMEBOL tournament which is considered one of
the precursors of the Copa Libertadores. Boye played for the Argentina national team between
1945 and 1951. He was on the Argentine teams that won the Copa América three times, in 1945,
1946 and 1947.
