NFR: Juan Carlos Valeron

[God The Mechanic]

Michael Cox (of Zonal Marking fame) wrote a pretty awesome article on a pretty awesome player, well worth a read.

And a token video of the great guy in action.  Absolutely glorious footballer, who (probably fortunately) never got to play for one of the big two in Spain.

Came across this article on twitter - neat story of a 'great' player I'd never heard about.

Part of the reason I like twitter...introduce to players, clubs, & fans I'd otherwise never have been introduced to.

Brilliant player, he had everything u want in a playmaker so silky. great vision, passing was good, superb technique and could score goals. Very underated along with the likes of Ivan dé l Péna and Fernando Redondo.
