The ultimate wildcard between the posts.
5’7” but played like he was 7 feet tall. Crazy reflexes, fearless dives, and the confidence to dribble past strikers like he was born to play up front. And sometimes? He actually did. Switched from goalie to striker mid-game, like it was nothing.
And let’s talk about the kits—man, those kits. Bright neon, wild patterns, designs he made himself. Every time he stepped on the pitch, it looked like a party. From Club Universidad to the World Cup stage with Mexico, no one rocked a fit like Campos.
