Albeiro Usuriaga López (12 June 1966 – 11 February 2004) was a Colombian footballer who played as a striker. Nicknamed ''El Palomo'', he played professionally in Colombia, Spain, Argentina, Mexico, Ecuador, Brazil, Paraguay and Venezuela, before being murdered at the age of 37. ==Club career== Usuriaga first came to prominence with Medellín's Atlético Nacional, scoring four goals in a 6–0 win against Danubio F.C. for the 1989 Libertadores Cup, and adding another against Club Olimpia in the final (2–0 in the second leg in Paraguay), in an eventual penalty shootout win; goalkeeper René Higuita was amongst his teammates. After playing two season halves in Spain with CD Málaga – Málaga CF's predecessor – and having a three-year spell with América de Cali, he rarely settled with a team and continuously changed countries, appearing for Club Atlético Independiente (two stints), Club Necaxa, Barcelona Sporting Club, Santos Futebol Clube, Club Deportivo Los Millonarios, Atlético Bucaramanga, General Paz Juniors, All Boys, Deportivo Pasto, Club Sportivo Luqueño and Carabobo FC. In 1993–94, Usuriaga contributed with four goals as Argentina's Independiente won the ''Clausura'' tournament. Three years later, whilst with the same team, he was handed a two-year ban by the Argentine Football Association after testing positive for cocaine.〔(Former Colombia soccer player Albeiro Usuriaga shot dead ); CBS Sports, 11 February 2004〕 After playing in various levels of football, he retired from the game in 2003, at the age of 37. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Albeiro Usuriaga」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
