INFO:
Ricardo Aniceto Roldán is a former footballer who could play in all midfield positions. Born in Santa Fe, Argentina (05/13/1953) but nicknamed Salteño due to his representation with the Centro Juventud Antoniana, he began his professional career in 1971 at Club Atlanta, at the age of 17. He remained in the bohemian for two years until in 1973 he signed for the first time with CJA, a club where he played for two more seasons, scoring 8 goals in 26 official matches. Aniceto arrived in Colón de Santa Fe in 1976 to play in the Torneo Metropolitano that year, and remained in the red and black institution until 1981, playing 223 games and scoring 41 goals. Roldán holds the record for the most Santa Fe Derbies played, with 15. After leaving the Santa Fe club, he returned to Buenos Aires to play for Vélez Sarsfield, where he played only 23 games in 2 years. In 1982 he signed for Platense, remaining in the squid until the 1985/86 season and having played 118 games. After Platense, he returned to his adoptive province and stayed two years in C.A. Central Norte (Salta). In 1988, he arrived for the second time at the Centro Juventud Antoniana, where he made history, as between 1989 and 1990 Juventud Antoniana obtained the Argentine record of 44 consecutive undefeated games. Roldán retired in 1990 for CJA, aged 37.
Roldán arrived at Colón as a No. 10, but he gradually converted into a defensive midfielder. Although defense was never his strong point (nor that of the other midfielders of his team), he was characterized by precise long passes, a lot of quality in keeping the ball, and a lot of technique, but what really characterized Roldán's game was his shot power. Some journalists compared his power to that of Nelinho, calling him the "Argentine Nelinho." The vast majority of Roldán's goals come from outside the area, whether by play or free kick, an area in which he also specialized. Roldán was one of the first players in Argentina to take knuckle-ball free kicks. Both in the CJA and in Colón he is considered one of their greatest idols.
