context_page_description: René Orlando Houseman, nicknamed Loco, was an Argentine footballer, who played as a right winger. At the beginning of his career, Houseman was considered successor of legendary winger Omar Corbatta, being still regarded by many sports journalists as one of the best Argentine wingers ever.
  An extraordinarily skilled player, Houseman was characterised by his outstanding dribbling ability, speed and mischief into the field.
