Bleo Pedro Fournol, mostly known as Pedro Calomino (also nicknamed Calumín) (13 March 1892 – 12 January 1950) was an Argentine footballer who played as right winger. Calomino spent nearly all of his career in Boca Juniors, having also played 37 games for the Argentina national team where he scored 5 goals. It is claimed that Calomino invented the step over move

Calomino is also regarded to be the first idol of Boca Juniors –where he won 9 titles– and one of the best right wingers of Argentina. With Argentina he won the 1921 South American Championship, the first official title for the national team. He is also the earliest known player to use the classic skill move - the stepover.
