you know they call them the leprosos (lepers)

and their bitter rivals, Rosario Central are called the canallas (scoundrels), due to (iirc) a benefit match for leprosy that was due to be held between them in the 20s or 30s.

I think it got called off by Central, hence their nicknames.

Now that is a derby I'd like to see. Ferocious. Hopefully later this year
