John Harold Lozano Prado (born 30 March 1972 in Cali) is a retired Colombian footballer who played mainly as a central midfielder, with good leadership skills and aerial ability.

He spent most of his 13-year professional career in Spain, amassing La Liga totals of 134 games and five goals, almost all with Real Valladolid (six seasons).

Football career

During his career, Lozano played for América de Cali, Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras (Brazil), Club América (Mexico), Real Valladolid and RCD Mallorca (Spain), retiring in 2004 after a stint with C.F. Pachuca (Mexico).

Whilst at Valladolid, during a 29 September 2001 away match against Real Madrid (2–2), opposing players blamed Lozano for whistling during a free kick, causing Real Madrid to believe that the referee had blown the whistle, as Valladolid scored from the situation. Lozano denied responsibility, saying it could have been any of the 90,000 spectators attending the game.

Gaining 48 caps for Colombia during a 10-year span, Lozano was a participant at the 1994 and at the 1998 FIFA World Cups, and also played in three editions of the Copa América in 1993, 1995 and 1999.
