Jose Ramirez — Empire FGA Bio Stub

This is a bio stub, not a graded Empire FGA profile. There is no video evidence behind this page — no OBI/SII, no core-12 sub-metrics, no ultProxy. Every field below comes from a single secondary source: the PC Fútbol — Base de Datos Apertura 97 player database (Dinamic Multimedia, 1997 copyright). Facts (dates, heights, match/goal counts) are reproduced directly since facts aren't copyrightable. The database's own scouting prose has been paraphrased, not quoted, to respect its copyright.

Part of a San Lorenzo de Almagro 1997 batch sourced from the same PC Fútbol database as the Boca Juniors batches. Of 20 PDFs referenced, 16 arrived in this session (4 — Luiz Fernando, Lussenhoff, Manusovich, Meloño — were referenced but never transferred, despite two attempts, and are not yet processed). Of the 16 received, 2 (Domingo Cardozo, Adrián Coria) were excluded: both were still registered to their prior clubs (Colegiales, Platense) through Clausura '97 per their own trajectory tables, only arriving at San Lorenzo for the following Apertura '97. The remaining 14 are new, verified Clausura '97 San Lorenzo first-team squad members, added as bio stubs. Three of the 14 — Abreu, Gorosito and Angelucci — share a name with a pre-existing HTML file already on disk (Sebastian_Abreu.html, Nestor_Gorosito.html, Gilberto_Angelucci.html) that could not be opened for inspection (OneDrive placeholder files, not hydrated locally) and have no entry anywhere in the live player database. To avoid any risk of overwriting whatever those files contain, this bio stub uses a fuller name variant and a distinct filename; the original files were left untouched.

Profile

Will share back-up goalkeeper duties with Angelucci because of the limit on foreign players in Argentine football — Angelucci, being Venezuelan, counts against the club's foreign-player quota. Still young and raw, with plenty to learn, but the source notes goalkeepers tend to improve with experience. Sure-handed and solid positionally, but a little hesitant coming for crosses. A standout penalty-taker — reportedly near-unbeatable from the spot, as shown in the reserve tournament.

Career to date (as of mid-1997)

Part of Argentina's U-17 squad at the 1993 World Cup in Japan, called up by Reinaldo Merlo as a replacement for both goalkeepers who had played at the South American U-17 championship in Colombia; started every match as Argentina were eliminated in the first round. Still hasn't debuted in the Primera División — kept out by Passet and Angelucci — but the sheer number of foreign players in Castelli's squad meant he was on the first-team bench on several occasions last season, a pattern the source expects to continue in the coming Apertura when Castelli needs to field Ramírez instead of Angelucci because of the foreign-player quota. His main action came in the reserve championship San Lorenzo won, where he made 17 appearances and scored 3 goals, all from the penalty spot.
