From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alberto Delgado Perez (born March 11, 1978 in Havana, Cuba) is a Cuban soccer player, who, as of 2005, plays forward for the Puerto Rico Islanders of USL First Division.
Delgado defected from Cuba during the 2002 Gold Cup, together with future Colorado Rapids teammate Rey Ángel Martínez. Before joining the Rapids in 2005, he most recently played for Ciudad de la Habana of Cuba and, before his defection, was one of the most dangerous players on the Cuban national team.
Delgado scored a goal and added three assists in his year with Colorado. He wears Perez on the back of his jersey to honor his mother. He was released by the Rapids before the 2005 season, signing with Puerto Rico.
