My Take

Selva is a player I find oddly inspiring because of the badge he wore. A forward born in Rome in 1976, he became San Marino's all-time record goal scorer and captained one of the smallest, most overmatched national teams in world football. Scoring for San Marino is almost a heroic act given how rarely the chances come, so being their leading marksman says everything about persistence against the odds. He's since moved into coaching, managing Cosmos in the Sammarinese league, which feels like a natural continuation. To me he embodies loyalty and grit, the dignity of competing hard when nobody expects you to win.

Overview

Andy Selva (born 23 May 1976) is a Sammarinese former footballer who is currently the manager of Campionato Sammarinese club Cosmos. During his playing career he played as a forward and captained the San Marino national team, finishing his career as their record goal scorer.
