Ary Patusca (1892 – 4 December 1923), was a Brazilian footballer who played as a forward.
At the beginning of the 1910s, Ary went to study accounting in the University of St. Gallen, Switzerland. With football running through his veins, Patusca ended up becoming a player at SC Brühl. He was successful for the club, eventually becoming Swiss champion, being one of the first Brazilian champions in a European club.[1] Patusca caught the attention and went to Inter Milan, but at his father's request he returned to Santos FC in the end of 1915, where he was top scorer of the 1916 Campeonato Paulista. For Santos FC, Ary scored 103 goals in 85 games.[2]
Ary was son of Sizino Patusca, the first Santos FC president,[3] brother of Araken Patusca and cousin of Arnaldo da Silveira.[4]
Ary died at the age of 31, in Santos
