Darío Enrique Dubois (10 March 1971 - 17 March 2008), better known as Darío Dubois, was an Argentine footballer famous for playing in numerous games with corpse-paint makeup.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] Due to this unusual characteristic, he became a famous and revered figure among those who like curious facts about football.[10][11]

Professional career

[edit]

In total, Dubois played 146 games and scored 13 goals for clubs in the Primera C and Primera D categories,[12] fourth and fifth level of Argentine football respectively. In 1999, as a player for Ferrocarril Midland, before a match against Argentino de Merlo, Dubois took the field wearing corpse paint, a style of makeup used by black metal musicians, a subgenre of heavy metal music he admired.[13][14] He would do it again in 13 matches until the Argentine Football Association issued a regulation prohibiting the practice. Dubois retired in 2005 after suffering a ligament injury in his knee and not earning enough money to perform the knee surgery.[15]

Death

[edit]

Dubois was shot twice on 2 March 2008, as he left a club where he worked as an audio operator in La Matanza Partido. After two weeks in hospital, Dubois died on March 17. The causes have unfortunately never been clarified.[16][17]
