    Carlos Valderrama: the power of the Afro (Video)

    Everybody loves an afro, right?

    If you are someone who is lucky enough to grow one then your cool rating increases ten fold instantly; such is the power of the afro.

    This cool rating goes through the roof if you are one of the most technically gifted footballers in your country's history and you have a brilliant blond afro.

    Who could possibly be this ridiculously cool, I hear you cry dear reader.

    Well, that man is Colombia's Carlos Valderrama.

    Sporting the most magnificent blond afro you will ever see Valderrama was able to bamboozle opponents with his brilliant feet throughout a career that spanned 18 years.

    Valderrama automatically received cult hero status due to his fantastic barnet. In Colombia, though, the man is a legend.

    The most capped player in the nation's history with 111 appearances, Velderrama was a key figurehead (ha de ha) in Colombia's golden era during the 1990s.

    Something of a journeyman during his club career, Valderrama is currently coaching a soccer academy in Florida and, thankfully, has not cut that afro of his.

    Enjoy this video of the man doing his thing during his prime and appreciate and behold the power of the afro, as demonstrated by the spell binding Carlos Valderrama
