My Take
Bogdan Stelea is the kind of footballer I instinctively warm to: the towering goalkeeper who held the line rather than grabbed the glory. Standing 188 cm and born in Bucharest, he played for all three of the capital's major clubs, then spent a substantial chapter in Spain, mainly with Salamanca, soldiering on into his forties. Goalkeeping is one of the few positions where age becomes an asset, and he embodied that beautifully, his Sport Merit Order well earned. I'll always take the dependable last man over the flashy striker, and Stelea is a fine reminder why.
