message: There's no need for a citation. It is a FACT that he is and will ever be the greatest Colombian player of all time. Better than Asprilla, better than Rincon, better than Angel.
--- thats a matter of opinion, he is a great player and person (from the reality shows i've seen he is in) but he is more of a play maker. He isn't that fast and  he is only really good for passing and free kicks, while Angel is more agile, great at scoring and a good play maker as well. He is ONE OF the greatest, but not THE greatest.
Carlos Valderrama is the greatest Colombian player of all times - just like Diego Armando Maradona is the best Argentine Player of all times. Valderrama exceeded at making his team mates better, he will always be an underrated legend. But at least I know just how good Valderrama really was - This guy could create problems against any team. I still remember the problems he caused Germany in the 1990 World Cup; Valderrama provided incisive passes all game long, his passing and movement was flawless.. Colombia should've won that match -however- the Colombians did not make the most of Valderrama's exceptional passing. This article does not makes justice to the great player Carlos "El Pibe" Valderrama really was. (Luis, Spain)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.50.81.81 (talk) 13:32, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Is Valderrama a mulatto ? He is being featured in this article, but I found no reliable source supporting this (maybe he is simply hispanic). Does anyone have a source on this ? Wedineinheck (talk) 10:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

message: I've found nothing about him playing for LA, and the picture looked quite clearly photoshopped, please add a source if it is true. Dukemmm (talk) 18:33, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

message: "His mass of blond, permed hair made him one of Colombia's most recognisable footballers."
:: No, he is recognized for the quality of his football. Although the hair had some attention, Valderrama was de facto one of the best players of his generation in the time that he played.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 201.79.155.166 (talk) 22:19, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Biased statement 

message: Why post a picture of a 45 year old Valderrama when the article is based mostly on his football career? when he is actually famous because he was a good footballer? therefore why not post a picture of Carlos Valderrama The Footballer as opposed to Carlos Valderrama enjoying life as a rich old man?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.50.223.12 (talk) 01:39, 6 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Irrelevant Picture 

message: I don't even know where to start, this article is a mess. It contains a lot of grammatical errors (I've corrected a few), and basically reads like your father telling you about Valderrama's career. It's very detailed and obviously written by someone who followed his career, and consistent with what I know about him (admittedly not much, but he IS the classical sluggish passing genius). It would be a shame to remove the description of his career entirely, so if someone has the time, patience and knowledge to change this mess into something readable, it would be nice.
