Radamel Falcao's journeyman career looked to be winding down in Turkey, but Spanish minnows Rayo Vallecano offered the 35-year-old a lifeline... now he is lighting up LaLiga once more

Say the name Radamel Falcao to an avid football fan and immediately memories are conjured of a powerful forward with the deft touch of an artist careering through defences and scoring the most sublime of goals.

Heroics for Porto, Atletico Madrid and the Colombian national team come to mind, when the man they call El Tigre was very much in his pomp.

His failed Premier League tenures with Manchester United and Chelsea have, however, heartily contributed to the narrative that Falcao is past it, another addition to European football's has-been pile.
