Jorge Campos is one of the most popular and richest Soccer Player who was born on October 15, 1966 in Mexico, Mexico. Striker and goalkeeper who played from 1988 to 2004, making his professional debut for Pumas, and his MLS debut in 1996 for the Los Angeles Galaxy.
He once appeared in a Nike commercial alongside the great Ronaldo.
Born in Acapulco, Campos started his career in 1988 in Mexico with Pumas. At that time the club’s first string goalkeeper was Adolfo Rios, so because Campos desired first-team opportunities, he asked to be used as a striker. He performed notably in his first season, scoring 14 goals and contending for the title of top-goal scorer. In the following seasons he earned the position of first-choice goalkeeper and won the 1990–91 championship with Pumas.
A notable player of Mexico in the 1990s and early 2000s, Campos was an eccentric player, known for his constant play outside the penalty area – often functioning as a sweeper-keeper, as well as his acrobatic, risky, and flamboyant style of goalkeeping, and his colourful playing attire. His main strengths as a goalkeeper were his leaping ability, athleticism, and speed when rushing off his line, as well as his ability to organize his defense, which enabled him to overcome his short stature. He was widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation.
He was born and raised in Acapulco, Mexico.
