My Take
Salvador Cabañas is, to me, the purest kind of striker: a goal-scorer whose gift lived in instinct rather than physique. At 174 cm he was never towering, yet across clubs like Club América and Audax Italiano, and for Paraguay's national team, he found the net with uncanny regularity. That sense of where the ball will fall can't really be coached. A Leo born in the year of the Monkey, he carried the boldness to step forward in decisive moments. Knowing his life took hard turns off the pitch only makes the brilliance he showed on it more worth remembering.
