In the line-ups
14 appearances in recorded line-ups · 2001–2009The archive holds 14 team sheets naming Walter Centeno in Costa Rica's starting line-up, from 2001-07-13 to 2009-11-18.
14 appearances in the starting line-ups the archive holds — not a career total. Our line-up coverage is partial, so a match he played that we hold no sheet for is simply not counted here.
