Andrés D'Alessandro

Andrés D'Alessandro is one of those left-footed magicians who made me grin just watching him receive the ball. At 174 cm he was never imposing, yet as an attacking midfielder across Argentina, Germany, England, Spain, Brazil and Uruguay, he was nearly impossible to dispossess. The 2004 Olympic gold confirmed his pedigree, but for me his real legacy is how beloved he became wherever he played, eventually earning Brazilian citizenship. He stands as proof that craft and imagination outweigh physical stature. Small in frame but enormous on the pitch, D'Alessandro is exactly the kind of player I love to celebrate.
