I watched it live, it was against England in the world cup. He later said that he thought the ball was out of play so he thought he would do a bit of show boating, but it wasn´t, the goal would have counted if it went in.

That kick occurred during a international friendly between Colombia and England in September of 1995, not during the World Cup.

I also have to say it is the greatest save in football history. And to think it happened in the temple of football itself....Wembley Stadium!

Yeah, the ball was live. HE didn't think it was, hence the trick save. Simply amazing.

Whatever happened to him??? I know that there were rumors of his involvement in...... El Pibe's still around, but this dude???

I think he's been coaching a second division team, with good success. The trick is nice but I don't rank it high because it doesn't help win games. Its just showboating. Whereas Ronaldinho's tricks would leave the defense behind. But he was a terrific goalie.

That play was in 1989 at Wembley, Col 1 - England 1. Andres Escobar (R.I.P.) scored for Col.I skipped class to watch the game, and I couldn't believe the ball wasn't playing!
He was playing for Rionegro last semester, I believe. He did the same play a couple of weeks ago during a good-bye game for Aristimula... Valderrama did the shot.

He was in "Cambio Extremo" on TV a couple of years ago.
He received some surgeries, new teeth, etc. and they painted him como una loca.
Pesimo.
