Tomás Boy (1951-2022) *70

was a Mexican football player and manager who played as an attacking midfielder.

With excellent technical skills and vision, Boy is considered as one of the greatest Mexican players of all time. He played in the Mexican professional football League, now Liga MX, between 1975 and 1988, and is arguably the best Mexican attacking midfielder of the late 1970s to mid-1980s. He spent most of his entire football playing career with Tigres UANL, appearing in 413 games and scoring 104 goals in all competitions.

Boy was awarded the Mexican Balón de Oro for the best attacking midfielder of the 1978–79 season. He played with the Mexico national team between 1979 and 1987 being named captain during the 1986 World Cup and surprisingly being left out for the 1978 edition. The 1986 squad is the last one ever to reach quarter-finals in a World Cup and was one of the greatest Mexican national squads. Boy earned the nickname "El Jefe" ("The Boss" in Spanish). On 12 November 2019, he was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame [es] in Pachuca.

Boy managed ten different teams in Mexico, reaching a final with Morelia in 2011 and saving several teams from relegation.
