  Faustino Asprilla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Asprilla was also a member of the Colombian team at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona.
Asprilla was expected to be one of the players of the tournament, but Colombia lost to the USA unexpectedly after death threats to the players and their families before the tie.
Asprilla infamously nearly signed for English League 2 outfit Darlington as a favour to the chairman who had befriended him, however on the day he was to sign the contract he fled the country and has not returned since.

 ABC Sport - Soccer - Asprilla in Chilean gunshot controversy
Asprilla, who has twice been investigated by public prosecutors in his homeland over incidents involving firearms, accused the media of blowing the incident out of proportion as his latest prank backfired.
Asprilla's first problem with firearms happened in 1995 in his hometown of Tulua, where prosecutors investigated an incident in which he was alleged to have been found drunk in a bar, carrying two guns and provoking other customers.
Asprilla's Universidad de Chile team mates said the Colombian had won a reputation as a prankster since joining the club at the start of the year but they were not so amused this time.

 Football | 'Shafted' Darlington pick up the pieces after Asprilla walkout
When rumours that Faustino Asprilla was about to sign for Darlington began to circulate last Friday Scott Thornberry, editor of the fan website Darlo Uncovered, was so unimpressed he said that if the deal became a reality he would bare his backside in the window of a local department store.
Asprilla, apparently aided by a Tyneside-based girlfriend, began negotiations with Reynolds after meeting him at St James's Park during Newcastle's pre-season friendly against Barcelona.
Asprilla eventually turned up an hour or so later, but had mislaid his passport in a restaurant and so the contract went unsigned.

 ESPN.com Soccernet England: News - Asprilla move given green light
Asprilla met Quakers chairman George Reynolds on Sunday in an initial bid to resurrect his career with the Third Division club, who insisted the move for one of the game's more colourful characters was not a publicity stunt.
The 32-year-old could now, provided that his registration is completed and international clearance comes through in time, make his debut in the Quakers' league clash with Kidderminster Harriers at the Aggborough Stadium on Saturday, a far cry from some of the stages upon which he has displayed his unpredictable talent in the past.
Asprilla, who famously scored a Champions League hat-trick for Newcastle against Spanish giants Barcelona in September 1997, was paraded in front of 5,163 fans before the club's 2-0 victory over Carlisle at Feethams last night.

 TCM Breaking News - 2002/08/26: Darlington chase Asprilla work permit
Third Division Darlington will continue their audacious pursuit of former Newcastle striker Faustino Asprilla tomorrow in a bid to have him available for the weekend clash at Kidderminster.
Asprilla does not meet the current criteria for a permit, having appeared in only five of his country’s last 14 competitive matches — well below the required figure of 75% over the last two years.
Asprilla cost Newcastle £7.5m (€11.74m) back in February 1996 when Kevin Keegan swooped to add the Parma striker to his squad, but he returned to the Serie A club less than two years later for £6.5m (€10.17) as Keegan’s successor Kenny Dalglish shuffled his pack.
