My Take
Alberto Górriz is exactly the kind of footballer I revere: a one-club man who gave Real Sociedad nearly 600 official appearances and four major trophies across an entire career. In an era of constant transfers, that loyalty feels almost mythical. He was a central defender who scored from set pieces with his head, embodying that rare two-way value, and he carried Spain's hopes at the 1990 World Cup. The fact that he even turned out in beach soccer tells me his love of the game ran deeper than mere profession. For me, his story is a moving tribute to devotion to one city and one badge.
