McCarthy was the PE teacher of the highscool where the founders studied ... and gave them advise in 1904, about a year prior of the foundation of Boca. The true founders are:
Juan Farenga
Teadoro Farenga
Santiago Sana
Alfredo Scarpatti
Esteban Baglietto
The game was brought to Argentina by the English, who played among themselves. The "crazy game" was slowly absorbed by the local population. The name came from: Boca, for the neighborhood ... and Juniors for the founder's young age, and to give it an "English" feeling.
