Víctor Aristizábal

Víctor Aristizábal gives me one of football's purest fairytale arcs. A Medellín-born striker winning Colombia's first major international trophy at the 2001 Copa América, on home soil, while finishing as top scorer with six goals, that is a script no novelist would dare. At 175 cm he was undersized for the role, surviving on instinct in the box rather than physical dominance. What moves me most is the context: representing Medellín during years scarred by the drug wars, he helped give a wounded city something to celebrate. To me he is a genuine Colombian treasure, a man who restored a little civic pride through goals.

Víctor Hugo Aristizábal Posada (born 9 December 1971) is a Colombian retired professional footballer who played as a striker. At the 2001 Copa América in his home country, he won the country's first international title with the Colombian selection and was the tournament's top scorer with 6 goals.
