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 1.74 m he was undersized for the role, surviving on instinct in the box rather than physical dominance. To me he is a genuine Colombian treasure, a man who gave his country something to celebrate through goals.
