Only four Argentines have been crowned as top scorer in La Liga, and Kempes is one of them. He was feared as a burly and effective striker for Valencia, scoring at will, especially in 1976/77 and 1977/78. Kempes also led the club to a European Cup Winners’ Cup triumph in 1980.

However, he is best known for his explosive finishes during the 1978 World Cup on home soil. He nabbed six goals and was top scorer of the tournament. In doing so he picked up the Golden Ball, too, becoming just the third player to have lifted the trophy and both awards at a single World Cup, along with Garrincha and Paolo Rossi.
