Great player

“Magic, illusionism, spectacle and ‘show’ on just two legs. David Copperfield was able to calmly draw inspiration from him to build the world of his success. With the ball at his feet, left or right, he was a genius who hid rabbits, he took out pigeons, cards appeared and hypnotized rivals thanks to a quality never seen in national football: the tunnel. His devilish dribbling allowed him to get close to the goal as many times as few full-backs in our football”, is how Atlético Nacional describes the player, one of their legends, on their website.

He won the 1991 and 1994 local titles with Nacional, the Inter-American Cup of 1997 and the Merconorte Cup of 1998.

The athlete withdrew from the courts due to a right knee injury much earlier than expected. After the 1998 season, he was unable to renew with Nacional and did not want to play for any other team. “It was the soul team at the time,” he said.
