Humberto Dionisio Maschio (Italian pronunciation: [ˈmaskjo]; born 20 February 1933 in Avellaneda, Buenos Aires Province) is an Italian Argentine former football player and manager, who played as a forward.
During the late 1950s and 1960s Antonio Angelillo, Omar Sívori and Maschio acquired the nickname The Angels with Dirty Faces when they moved en masse from Argentina to play football in Italy. The name, an ironic reference to the then-celebrated Angels with Dirty Faces movie, was given to them on account of their typically South American colour and flair. They were also known as The Trio of Death because of their clinical ability in scoring goals.
At international level, he represented both the Argentina national football team, winning the 1957 Copa América, and the Italy national football team, taking part in the 1962 FIFA World Cup.
Maschio started playing at Arsenal de Llavallol to later move to Quilmes Atlético Club where he proved himself a prolific goal-scorer. He joined Racing Club in 1954, and transferred to Italy in 1957. He had been linked with a move to Juventus in 1956, but their interest cooled following the international between Italy and Argentina in Buenos Aires that year when he looked ineffective. Instead he signed for Bologna in 1957, but although he paired up with Bernard Vukas there, he was unable to recreate the form he showed at Racing.
