A notable player of Mexico in the 1990s and early 2000s, Campos was an eccentric player, known for his constant play outside the penalty area – often functioning as a sweeper-keeper –, as well as his acrobatic, risky, and flamboyant style of goalkeeping, and his colourful playing attire.
His main strengths as a goalkeeper were his leaping ability, athleticism, and speed when rushing off his line, as well as his ability to organize his defense, which enabled him to overcome his short stature.
He was widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers of his generation.Campos also made for an effective striker, a rare example of versatility in football.
At times, he would start a game in goal, and transfer upfield later in the match, mostly at the club level.
In total, he scored 34 goals throughout his career.
His trademark, self-designed bright kits contributed to his popularity.
