Froylán Ledezma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Froylán Ledezma Stephens, sometimes spelled Froilán. Also known as "El Cachorro" (born January 2, 1978 in San José) is a Costa Rican international soccer striker.
He debuted in the Costa Rican league at the age of 16 with LD Alajuelense. In the 1995/96 season he scored 14 goals, and followed up the next season with 21 goals in 27 matches. He was scouted by Dutch giants Ajax Amsterdam and after that invited for a trial by their big rivals Feyenoord. But Ajax signed him in 1997 for around 4,5 million euros in spectacular fashion after 'kidnapping' him from Amsterdam Airport under Feyenoord's nose. However, the promising youngster became no success in Dutch football, only playing twice for Ajax and left for Cerro Porteño after a poor disciplinary record. He has also played in Bolivia with The Strongest and later returned to Alajuelense where he became league champion in 2004/05. He played for Greek team Akratitos in season 2005/06 (1/1/2006-30/6/2006), then joined Austrian club SC Rheindorf Altach.
He played in 1997 FIFA World Youth Championship, held in Malaysia.
