The former rapporteur of Chain 3 Osvaldo Alfredo Wehbe died this Thursday after spending more than two weeks in Río Cuarto after suffering a accidente cerebrovascular (ACV).
The picture of the “Turco”, who was in the South Regional Clinic in the city of Cordoba, was very delicate from the moment he was hospitalized.
The excellent sports narrator decompensated around 23 on Sunday, July 26 after suffering a spike in blood pressure, which forced his immediate intervention.

Wehbe is considered one of the best soccer reporters in all of Argentine history, and was always noted for his brilliant descriptions of the matches, with phrases that will remain forever, such as “the ball became the moon”, and unique goal calls.
At the end of his programs, the expression referring to ethics was never lacking, when he closed by saying: “We hope we were worthy”.
In Chain 3 he shone not only as a sports narrator, but also as a driver and in his cycle “World of nostalgia”.

He knew how to move with his stories in World Cups, unforgettable finals and different games from the magic of the radio.
One of his most emotional stories that remain forever in the memory was in the consecration of San Lorenzo, the team of which he was a fan, in the 2014 Copa Libertadores.
His death occurred exactly six years after that Olympic round, which was on August 13 of that year.
