Jimbo welcomes Duncan Alexander, Felipe Cardenas and Luis Miguel Echegaray to discuss one of the great forgotten sides of the last three decades - the Colombia team of the early 90s.
Led by Carlos Valderrama and sprinkled with the antics of goalkeeper Rene Higuita, Colombia captured the affections of many neutrals at Italia 90 and an iconic 5-0 win in Argentina saw them installed amongst the favourites for USA 94.
Amid the backdrop of death threats from the cartels, a side featuring Asprilla and Rincon were eliminated early with Andres Escobar tragically murdered 10 days after scoring a crucial own goal. Not the only Escobar in this remarkable story.
Produced by Charlie Jones and Lucy Oliva.
RUNNING ORDER:
• PART 1a: The best hamburger in Atlanta and Duncan’s quiz question (02.30)
• PART 1b: Big Colombian football anniversaries (07.30)
• PART 2: The birth of toque toque (15.30)
