Diego Aguirre
Diego Aguirre (born 1967) is an Uruguayan football coach and player. He became famous in 1987 thanks to the last-gasp goal he scored against the Colombian powerhouse America de Cali in the final of the Copa Libertadores (South American club championship cup).
The following year he was brought to Greece and Olympiakos by George Koskotas. His career there was uneventful other than an incident in a match against Veria FC. Olympiakos had won the game but Veria appealed after Aguirre's samples tested positive for banned substances. He left Greece for South America - after failing a tryout with Fiorentina - and continued playing there.
