Bernabé Ferreyra (12 February 1909 – 22 May 1972) was an Argentine association football forward.
He was one of the first professional players in Argentine football to reach great popularity, to the point that he had a movie biography.
Ferreyra is also the only player in the history of Argentine football whose number of goals scored is higher than matches played (206/197).Throughout his career he was known as "El Mortero de Rufino", due to his capacity as a striker and his strong kick.
He was also known as La Fiera (Spanish for "The Wild Animal").
It is said that this nickname was born when Hugo Marini (a journalist for Crítica) overheard a conversation between an old man and a boy, in which the old man said "He's not a man.
He's a beast" while referring to Ferreyra.
