Veteran Colombian ‘Keeper To Retire, Scores With A Header Whilst Wearing A Baseball Cap (Video)
By Alan Duffy
Miguel Calero, the 40-year-old goalkeeper who currently plies his trade with Pachuca in the Mexican league, is set to retire this weekend after a long and eventful career.
The 6’3″ goalie was a squad member for Colombia in the 1998 World Cup Finals and won numerous club titles in his time in Mexico, despite being a less than reliable performer between the posts. However, he is also famed for scoring ability. As well as chalking up a fair few long-range goals, he also was dangerous with his head, and his hat. Check out these goal from his lengthy career, both headed home via his baseball cap.
I can’t think of another player to score a headed goal whilst wearing a hat? Can you?

In the second video, did they just win a two legged match in injury time? Because otherwise it seems daft if they celebrate a 2-3 defeat.
1998 World Cup Finals? Colombia didn’t make it out of the group stage. Still, he’s a hero.
Yes, in the second video they did win a two legged match, I cried that day, I’m a Chivas fan. The ball was pushed up about 5 yards from the original foul spot, so that would have made a difference if the ref would have payed attention….but anyways, Calero is one of the most arrogant GK ever! He talked so much shit, now that Pachuca is doing terrible he sees the need to retire. I remember one game, 0-0 at the half, very first play of the second, he blocked a Chicharito header, looked at the fans taunted them, on the resulting corner kick Chivas scored, went on to win 5-0.
^^^
yes, the former
Im a supporter of the MLS side Houston Dynamo. We’ve played Pachuca several times in international competition, most of the time on the losing end of that. Calero was a bit of a prick but he was a damn good keeper. Props to him for the great career.
@whoateallthetamales great info there!
Actually in that game calero didn’t score it was Mosquera who now plays with Chivas Rival America. People always think Calero scored but he did
