My Take

For me José Daniel Valencia sits in a special tier, because he was part of the Argentina side that lifted the 1978 World Cup on home soil. An attacking midfielder at just 169 cm, he proved that intelligence and touch can carry you to the very summit of the game. That he climbed from San Salvador de Jujuy in Argentina's north to the center of a nation's euphoria moves me. I've always favored the playmakers who conduct a match over the pure finishers, and Valencia is exactly that profile. A name from a generation-defining team deserves to be recorded with real reverence.
