Contents

[edit] Football career

Orejuela made his professional debuts with RCD Español, being an undisputed starter since age 21 - after serving four loans in the lower leagues, all in Catalonia - and remaining as such for the following six years. In the Pericos' 1987–88 runner-up up campaign in the UEFA Cup, he scored three times, having also captained the side for a number of years.

After a last weak season in La Liga - only 12 games, only two complete - Orejuela retired also in the area in 1993, playing two years with Español neighbours Palamós CF, in the second division.

[edit] Personal

Orejuela's older brother, Jesús, was also a professional footballer. A striker, he represented, in the top level, Espanyol (coinciding with Diego from 1982–84), CA Osasuna and Real Zaragoza.[1]
