Soetjipto Soentoro (16 June 1941 – 12 November 1994), commonly known as "Gareng", was an Indonesian footballer who captained Indonesia's national team.
Born in Bandung, Jawa Barat, he was raised in a family of football enthusiasts - his brothers were Soegijo and Soegito, who played for Persija Jakarta between 1952 and 1964.
Soetjipto played football as a teenager in the streets in the area of Kebayoran Baru, Jakarta in 1954.
He came to the attention of Djamiat Dalhar when playing for Setia Jakarta (a Persija youth team) who subsequently called Soetjipto up to the national junior team.
At 16 years old, Soentoro joined Persija where he was given his nickname "Gareng", after a diminutive character in Indonesia's Wayang, due his short stature.
In his debut, Soentoro scored four goals in a 7–0 against PSP Padang.
He followed up that performance with a goal against PSB Bogor and an equalizer against PSM Makassar.
In the 1960 AFC Youth Championship, Soetjipto Soentoro scored five goals to lead Indonesia to a third place finish, scoring his first against Singapore in the first minute.

With four more goals against PSMS and a hat trick against Persib, Soentoro helped Persija reach the final which they won against Persebaya to become the 1964 Perserikatan champions.
After an unbeaten season, Soentoro was confirmed as the top scorer having scored 16 goals in his debut season.
During the newly formatted 1964-65 Perserikatan, Persija failed to defend their title, losing in the semi-final despite Soentoro scoring in their first leg victory over Persebaya.
They would go on to lose the second leg 4-2 and be eliminated as a result.
In the 1965-66 Perserikatan, Persija finished forth in the West Zone with Soetjipto scoring three times in his five appearances.
In 1965, Indonesia travelled to Europe to play two powerhouses of European football, Feyenoord, of the Netherlands and SV Werder Bremen, of Germany.
Despite Sukarno's words of motivation prior to their game against the Eredivisie champions Feyenoord, featuring Guus Hiddink, Indonesia lost 6–1 with Soentoro scoring in the second minute.
Persija fared better in the 1966-67 Perserikatan, finishing third in the Western Group with Soetjipto scoring five goals in his five appearances.
He would follow this performance with a hat trick against Bundesliga champions Werder Bremen Bremen manager, Günter Brocker, offered Soentoro a chance to play for Werder Bremen but this was not sanctioned by Sukarno, especially as the squad was preparing for the 1966 Asian Games.
Soetjipto made his debut in international competitions at the 1966 Asian Games in Tokyo, scoring two goals as Indonesia reached the quarter-finals and followed that up at the 1966 Aga Khan Gold Cup with nine goals in four games including a goal in the final against Mohammedan SC, which Indonesia won 2–1.
