Adolfo Valencia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolfo José Valencia Mosquera (born February 6, 1968 in Buenaventura, Colombia) is a soccer striker who has played all over the world. He was a major part of the Colombian national team during the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cups.

Valencia, known as El Tren ("The Train") for his physique, has played for clubs in seven different countries: in his native Colombia (Independiente Santa Fe), Germany (Bayern Munich), Spain (Atlético Madrid), Italy (Reggiana), Greece (PAOK), United States (MetroStars), and Venezuela (Maracaibo). His most important achievement came with Bayern Munich in the German Bundesliga, where he was a key player for the 1994 Championship team.

Valencia scored two goals in the 1994 World Cup, including the last goal in an ill-fated match against the United States that later cost teammate Andres Escobar his life.

In Valencia's first season with the MetroStars, 2000, he set a team record by scoring 16 league goals (21 in all competitions).
