== Playing style == A skilled player, Hayes played as left insider, sometimes as right insider because of his ability with both legs.<ref>"Ennis Hayes" by Leonardo Volpe on Historia del Fútbol Rosarino (blogsite), 21 July 2011</ref> On the other hand, he had a conflictive character that brought him some problems. In 1917 Hayes was banned from playing in national competitions after punching a referee in a Copa de Honor MCBA match v Racing. Nevertheless, the punishment was revoked two years later, allowing him to return to competitions.<ref name="EG" /> A new controversy came in a match v Club Argentino, when, after dribling all rival defenders and even the goalkeeper, he stopped and sat on the ball waiting for more rivals instead of scoring a goal.<ref>''De Rosario y de Central'', by Jorge Brisaboa, Homo Sapiens, 1996 - {{isbn|950-808-100-7}}</ref>
