| Position | Forward |
A reliable back up to Costa Rica's established partnership of Paulo Wanchope and Rolando Fonseca.
He started at domestic club AD Limonenese before signing for Serie A side Udinese in the summer of 2001.
Winston made his debut in the final World Cup qualification match and impressed observers in the friendly matches leading up to the 2002 finals.
He was regarded as a good back up who would not let the team down if he employed from the bench or as a replacement for others.
The point was proved when, shortly after coming on as a sub, Winston netted the vital late equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Turkey, and then was inches away from a sensational winner.
