My Take
Andoni Zubizarreta is a genuine Spanish legend, and the kind I most admire. He guarded the goal for Athletic Bilbao and then eight years at Barcelona, and for a long stretch he was the most-capped player in Spain's history. What gets me is that he did not vanish after retiring, he moved into the front office and kept shaping clubs as a football executive. Standing alone in goal for hundreds of matches takes a different sort of nerve. A man who built so much of modern Spanish football, both between the posts and behind the scenes, leaves me with deep respect.
