Your work is thorough.

In Late 80s (prelist)
I think it would best change to Bobo by lefty Jorge Aravena who made history playing in Chile, Colombia and Mexico.
Appears on the All Time team of Necaxa of Mexico, Deportivo Cali and Catholic University FC.

Luis "Chonto" Herrera has more merit.
Alex Aguinaga has more merit.

In Mid 80s (prelist)

I would change Marco CORNEZ (Chile) by Carlos Roberto Gallo.
Cornez not transcend

In Early 80s
Cesar Cueto should be the No. 1 position as Center Mids


Msioux Great job.

I include many names in early 80s list and also exclude Jair Goncalves from MF.

I also included Marin in late 70s
