My Take
António Folha is the kind of footballer I love digging up. A 171 cm winger who carved out 227 Primeira Liga appearances, mostly in Porto colours, and earned a place in Portugal's Euro 1996 squad during a genuinely talented era. The numbers tell of a player who relied on craft and pace rather than physique. What seals my admiration is the second act: he stayed in the game as a coach and was knighted into the Order of Prince Henry. A full playing career followed by continued service to the sport is exactly the unflashy loyalty I find worth celebrating.
