Alberto de la Bella

Alberto de la Bella is the kind of footballer I quietly admire most: a one-club loyalist. Spending the bulk of a career and 218 competitive matches with Real Sociedad says something rare in modern football, where players move at the first better offer. A left-back's job is endless overlapping runs and recovery sprints with little glory, and to do it faithfully for one club for so long takes real character. He never became a household name, but to me that consistency is its own form of greatness. I see a professional's professional, a spine the team could lean on.
