About Juan Pablo Ángel
Juan Pablo Ángel Arango (born 24 October 1975) is a Colombian former professional footballer who played as a forward. He began his career at Nacional, whom he helped to win the championship in 1994, and then moved to River Plate of Argentina, where he was the league's top scorer in 2000. The following year he moved to Europe, joining Aston Villa of the Premier League for a club record £9.5 million. In 2007, he moved to the United States, where he played for three clubs in Major League Soccer before returning to Atlético Nacional in 2013, where he ended his career a year later. Ángel is the father of footballer Tomás Ángel, who currently plays as a forward for San Diego. The 25-year-old signed for Premier League side Aston Villa on 12 January 2001, becoming the club's record signing at £9.5 million. He started off slow but slowly progressed during the first half of the season to claim a total of 11 goals from 19 games. He became the first Red Bull player to score in six straight games. However, Ángel still had his moments during the campaign as he became the club's all-time leading goal scorer.
