Perhaps one of the most well-known foreign players to ever play in Major League Soccer, he was a key figure in the league’s rise in the 1990s, most notably as a pioneer who inspired a wave of Colombian (and other foreign) footballers to join the league, resulting in a significant increase in the league’s popularity and strength. He is still remembered as one of the most decorated playmakers in MLS history. In the 1990s, Valderrama was a member of the Colombian national football team. He played in 111 full internationals for Colombia between 1985 and 1998, scoring 11 times and became the country’s most capped player. Valderrama was renowned for his passing and assisting accuracy, as well as his versatility.
