Who is Andrés Escobar?
Andrés Escobar was a Colombian footballer who primarily played defense. He has represented Atlético Nacional, BSC Young Boys, and Colombia’s national team. He was known as The Gentleman for his clean style of play and calmness on the field. Escobar was born on March 13, 1967, in Medelln. He was raised in a middle-class family. He went to Colegio Calasanz and then to Instituto Conrado González. Before becoming a professional football player, he played on school football teams.
Colombian fans still hold Escobar in high regard, and his death is particularly mourned and remembered by Atlético Nacional supporters. Escobar was murdered on July 2, 1994, in the aftermath of the 1994 FIFA World Cup, allegedly in retaliation for scoring an own goal that contributed to the team’s elimination from the tournament. His assassination harmed the country’s image around the world. Escobar had worked to promote a more positive image of Colombia, earning national acclaim.
