If one single number nine means you’re a goalscorer, two nines means you’re some kind of inconceivable golden god. Think Galactus, Cthulu, the Yellow King, Quailman, etc.
Oh, and Tony Taylor! Though ol’ Tony T wasn’t brought back for a third year with the Bronx Blues, one man has risen to claim the number-99 mantle: Miguel Camargo. Go ahead: skip ahead to the 0:58 mark in the video that opens this article.
The 23 year old Camargo, a full Panama international, is an attacking midfielder on the rise. He’s also comfortable playing out wide, and scored a goal against eventual champions Chile in last year’s Copa America Centenario.
