8. LUIS GABELO CONEJO Costa Rica
Costa Rica’s unexpected progress to the second round was based on three things: canny organisation, the inspirational impact of their coach Bora Milutinovic, and the form of their goalkeeper, Luis Gabelo Conejo.He kept a clean sheet as Costa Rica beat Scotland to become the first Central American side to win a World Cup match in Europe, and was then outstanding in their second match against Brazil, making a string of fine saves and being beaten only by a deflected shot.
Injury kept him out of the second round defeat to Czechoslovakia, but he had already made sufficient impression to be named goalkeeper of the tournament by France Football.
