Pedro's Faces

Actual: Coach Old HT Face in Club Jersey NT 1 NT 2

Pedro Zurita (born 3 November 1997^[1]) is an Argentinian player, famous for being the most prolificous forward in the history of Hattrick: the all-time Top Scorer. He is the first player that arrived at quote 700 goal.

Early Days

Pedro's former team, Los Bepis, promoted him on a Friday night, 77 years and 77 days ago (Hattrick time). It was the second week of season 18.
Young Apache was solid at scoring skill but weak at passing. It is worth to mention that by that time, specialties had not been invented.
After a week of intensive training, his coach (and team owner) Tesone, noted that Pedro's scoring skill had improved to excellent.

Club Career

Los Bepis (S.18 - S.33)

• Zurita scored a goal on his very first match. It was long ago: 11/12/2002. It was an easy opponent on the early stages of the Copa Argentina: (4784245)
• But Pedro had yet some more to prove on that same season: on 22/12/2002, he scored his first Hattrick. And it was not only on an official league match but it was against the giants Boca Juniors^[2]: (4520945)
• It took only one season for us to see his debut on the Argentina U20 National Team. Pedro was just 18, but had powerful friends!
  • On this match you can see Pedro wear the Light Blue/White jersey for the first time: (6986570)
  • The link to his first goal: (7050393)
• Pedro was becoming famous in the community and had friends everywhere. In a time when adding a nickname to a player was something almost impossible, Pedro got one for just one match: (7256652). After such event many complained on why Pedro could have a nickname and so many others couldn't. The nick did not see the light of Sunday; it was immediately removed after the Hellas match. But something had changed in him. A new identity was growing inside Pedro.
  • It is worth to mention that only GM's or HT's could grant a nickname to a player. By that time Tesone's (Los Bepis owner) twin brother was a GM: GM-Melli. Wink.
• Pedro would grow older and his skills improved every Friday. It didn't take long until the National Team coach noticed his talent.
  • On January 2004, with only 20 years, Zurita made his debut with the NT: (13783178)
  • A couple of weeks later, Česká republika would suffer Pedro's first goal: (13906579)
• On Friday 11/3/2005 Pedro Zurita reaches scoring skill Divine.
  • He was the second^[3] Argentinian field player to reach such level. Major event for the community.
  • Immediately after noticing this, Tesone started a big thread on the Argentinian Forum: (2726305.1)
    • The thread became super popular and the first official request (of many more to come) for the return of the "Apache" nickname took place.
    • GM-Gaita was not so positive about it: (2726305.25)
    • Second thread requesting the nickname: (2746916.1)
• One year later (April 2006), being quite young for such achievement, Pedro became Argentina's all-time top scorer.
  • It was his goal #292 and he reached the mark of José Ramón Herrero, Boca Juniors's legendary striker. Once again, Pedro messing with the old HT-Dinosaur.
  • Again, a thread in the Forums was created to celebrate the event: (5527781.1)
• During 2006 (dates are not accurate here), Tesone was interviewed (link) by former user checo.
• On April, that same year, Zurita reached 100 caps for the National Team and the community was, once again, celebrating after Apache: (5625045.1)
• It was in July 2006 that a famous -and extremely bizzarre- flash interview took place. Watch it under your own risk: (link)
• 19/10/2006: The Argentinian Community finds out that Zurita is very close to beating the record: (7164389.1)
  • The next day, Pedro makes it beating English striker Cody Edgar : (7164389.64)
  • Cody scores and is n1 again: (7164389.93)
  • Finally, a couple of weeks later, Pedro takes the throne and stays there for a long time: (7164389.108)
• 27/12/2006: Pedro Zurita reaches the incredible mark of 400 goals
  • It is now the Global Community that salutes Pedro: (7734784.1)
  • And Argentinians want the nickname for their hero: (8446161.1)
  • Former user agustin90 writes a few words about the superhero: (9121179.1)
• After becoming Hattricks all-time top scorer, Tesone claims for what he deserves (yes, the nickname again!): (9023376.1)
  • This time, GM-Gaita is more optimistic: (9023376.133)
  • The request is replicated in Global Forum: (9028968.1)
  • Argentinians start collecting signatures: (9080602.1) and (9446404.1)
• 06/10/2007 Pedro's salary is too high for Los Bepis finances. Tesone has to sell. In tears, he writes to the Argentinians: (9875427.1)
  • After 16 seasons, Pedro and Tesone shake hands. Big hug. A new contract is to be signed with the brave team that is willing to pay Pedro's salaries every week: Furano (331268)

Furano (S.33 - S.36)

The transaction took place on 09/10/2007. It was a big event in the National Forum: (9892499.1)

• Many were afraid that a foreing team might buy Pedro just to fire him the next day. It had happened before with other big stars of the Game. Due to this, the NT coach, Peluza (1191014) handed pedro a callup. Just a formality to keep Pedro "alive".
• Finally, Tesone and -Julian- (822520) shook hands. The amount could have been bigger ($ 2.941.000). After this, Pedro was released from the NT.

For the first time in his career Pedro, at the age of 32, would wear a club jersey other than Los Bepis'. Furano was a rich team back then. His manager, -Julian-, said he could afford Zurita's salary easily.

• The new debate in the forums was about Apache's wage. Was it too much? (10201177.1)

In December, that same year, Pedro suffered one of the worst injuries he would ever had. It was a cold rainy night. Wednesday. Cup Match. Defeat: (155879335)

• The recovery took less than expected. Pedro is anything but normal. One month later he was healed and playing. His return: (153442871). Celebrations in the National Conference: (10512444.1)

It's World Cup time. First Round. Argentina was strugling to qualify for Round Two. Pedro saves the day: (155448665).

• Right after the big match, there is a new claim for the nickname: (10780648.1) and (10790132.1). Both topics are closed after several arguments with Chilean users.

It was in March, that same year, that Zurita reaches the mark of 500 goals and 50 hattricks. Both world records by that time.

• As expected, the nickname is the main topic again. This time, a global thread (10867996.1) and, at national level, a new signature collect (10872912.1).

It seemed to be that the only Argentinian user bored of the game (even having Pedro Zurita in his lines!) was -Julian-. In June 2008 Furano put Apache for sale.

aguante misiones (S.36)

The new owner was also an Argentinian team: aguante misiones (445923). No one knew much about these new rich investors. The club owner, jlgjlg (1796460), never gave any statement.

• It was a big sum of money ($ 17.500.000) that, eventually, the GMs adjusted to $ 3.000.000. -Julian- was pissed off and so were many other users that complained about this.

In the meantime, a new petition for the Apache nickname is presented in Global Conference: (11510060.1).
Pedro did never play a match for his new club. aguante misiones was reported cheater and the NTAs put Zurita on the market.

• Again, a big fuss is created around Pedro. Who would buy him now and how much are they going to pay? (11542700.1)

Hristo Stoichkov Team (S.36)

On July 2008, Bulgarian side Hristo Stoichkov Team (660446) buys Pedro Zurita. Pedro would play abroad at club level for the first time in his life. He is now 35 years old.
August 20: At last, the nickname is officially added to Pedro's name. It is announced in National Confference by GM-Koldo (11748426.1) and in Global 11748821.1)
Two days later Hristo Stoichkov Team is left without an owner. Pedro's life is in danger: 11748426.134)

• Immediately after this, simontxo (NT coach) makes the call. Pedro is in the NT, he is safe.
• The NTAs, again, put Zurita for sale.
• Argentinian club Larbatata buys Pedro "Apache" Zurita for an enormous amount of money: $ 26.775.000
