Despite a lack of significant pedigree on the world stage, Chile is a nation with a fine record when it comes to producing a regular stream of talented, if often eccentric and maverick footballers.

We feature a number of them in this Chile Vintage post along with a selection of other more left-field Chilean-themed images, our minor homage to the nation that has made such a strong impression on this current World Cup so far.
