The wild-haired Colombian had a statue build of himself in 2002 at the home ground of Union Magdalena.
Visitors at the Eduardo Santos stadium have since marvelled at how artist Amilkar Ariza managed to recreate all those curls.
Admittedly, though, what Ariza did with Valderrama’s hands was a bit weird.
