Was my first favourite footballer and was so hyped to see his chips. One of those last batches of strikers who had a real feel for the football.
Good luck to him.
A player I wanted to succeed for us.
P.S. will always root for Mexico over USA if I’m down the pub. Wearing my Gulf of Mexico T-shirt. If only to troll the locals!

Back in the days on FIFA when you could edit real players names etc I changed the name of some random guy in a random team who looked like Vela so I could have him as a real face player in my team. I thought he was going to be amazing for us.
